Abstract

During studies performed on the ecological conditions of Izmir Bay and its biota, a population of Fulvia fragilis was observed to have recently colonized the bay. In this study, some comments are provided on the anatomical, ecological, taxonomical and distributional aspects of the species, which was first encountered during late 2001 in Izmir Bay.
