Sahin, O.
This study is carried out by seasonal sampling to determine Gastropod fauna collected from mediolittoral and upperinfralittoral areas of 3 stations (Phaselis, Lara, Side) in Mediterranean Bay coastal areas. At the end of the study, 18 species belonging to the subclass of Prosobranchia and 1 species belonging to the subclass of Opistobranchia of Gastropoda fauna are determined. Among these species, Monodonta turbinata, Patella caerulea, P. ulyssiponensis, Ergalatax obscura, Trunculariopsis trunculus and Conus mediterraneus are widely distributed taxons. A. dactylomela to belonging the subclass Opistobranchia is a new record for the gulf of Antalya. It is observed that Monodonta spp., Patella spp., C. vulgatum and C. mediterraneus has an average population of 103,96; 112,16; 141,28; 61,28 individual/m² in the area. As a result, it is determined that either water quality or Gastropoda fauna of the Mediterranean Bay coastal areas resembles to the fauna and ecosytsyem characteristics of Mediterranean. The intense located Gastropod taxons can be economically utilized in proper conditions.
