Abstract
The genus Ocypode is represented by 21 species worldwide and the distribution regions of these species are the coasts of the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, Eastern Pacific Ocean and the Indo-Western Pacific Ocean (Sakai and Türkay, 2013). These crabs which have extensive dispersal along sandy-beach ecosystems are of high importance because of their roles as both predators and beach scavengers to maintain the health of their habitats (Wolcott, 1978; Brown and McLachlan, 2006).
