Abstract
Crabs are known to flourish in various turbid environments around the world. The Gulf of Kachchh (GOK) is one of the world’s richest Marine National Park (MNP); southern part of GOK has 42 islands which provide shelter for coral reef, mangroves and associated faunas. Present study brings out 22 species of marine crabs, high diversity of marine crabs were reported at Narara reef and low diversity was at Sachana coast from GOK, MNP. Literature reveals that 80 species of marine crabs have been recorded from the Gujrat.
