title: Decapod fauna of the Chernaya River basin (Crimea)
abstract: The results of hydrobiological studies of the Chernaya River basin are presented. The checklist of decapod crustaceans comprises 15 species from 12 families, with the majority (approximately 87 %) recorded in the estuarine section. A brief characterization of each species is provided. The decapod fauna is predominantly marine in origin (13 species), which is typical for estuarine zones. The native fauna of the Chernaya River is represented by only one species – the narrow-clawed crayfish Pontast
