Abstract

In this study, findings of morphological deformation observed on a blue crab sampled in Köyceğiz Lagoon (Muğla, Turkey)are presented. The deformation is in the left lateral spine. It has been observed that this spine, which normally should have been one,developed as two independent spines. Due to this abnormality observed in the individual, the individual has two carapace widths.
