“…The description of the Tanaidacea Apseudopsis annabensis by Guţu [94] was based on one specimen sampled in the Bay of Annaba. Recently, this species was reported in the tidal channels of the Gulf of Gabès [39,115]; this was the first record of the species outside its native range; thus its distribution is limited to Algerian and Tunisian waters.…”

“…Nevertheless, numerous publications report inventories at local, national and regional scales for the Mediterranean Sea and have notably contributed to our knowledge of Peracarid groups (see [1], for references before 2008). Some inventories cover the entire Mediterranean Sea [7][8][9][10], while others are limited to certain areas: the Alboran Sea [11][12][13][14], the Mediterranean coasts of Spain [9,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21] and France [22,23], Italian waters [24][25][26][27][28][29], the Adriatic Sea [30], as well as the coasts of Tunisia [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40], Malta [41], Libya [42], Greece [43][44][45], Turkey [46][47][48][49][50], the Levantine Sea [10,…”

This study records the number of Peracarida (Cumacea, Isopoda, Mysida, Lophogastrida and Tanaidacea) from Algerian coastal waters. A total of 170 species are reported with the highest richness observed in the Isopoda (71 species), then the Cumacea with 43 species, the Mysida and Tanaidacea with 27 species each and the Lophogastrida with only two species. The diversity of Peracarida in Algeria is high, corresponding to 60% of the species recorded for the Mediterranean Sea. A geographical analysis of the distribution of the species shows that the Algerian fauna has a close similarity with taxa reported from both the European and African coasts of the Atlantic Ocean. This reflects the influence of Atlantic waters along the North African coasts extending from Morocco to Tunisia in the south of the Mediterranean Sea, which is related to the connection via the Strait of Gibraltar. For the Algerian coasts only five Peracarida species may be considered as Non-Indigenous Species.
