    ABSTRACT
    The aim of this study was to reveal the species diversity of Decapod Crustaceans in Lasongko Bay, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. The study was conducted from April 2013 to March 2014. The sample collections were conducted on a monthly basis using gillnets at six stations. The abundance, diversity, and similarity indices of decapod species are presented spatially and temporally. Nineteen families and thirty-eight species were found in the bay, and they were dominated by the brachyuran group. The Shannon-Weiner diversity index, the evenness index, and the Simpson dominance index of the decapods spatially ranged 0.812–0.893, 0.592–0.683, and 0.215–0.313, respectively. The species similarity index ranged 0.560–0.831 spatially and 0.363–0.902 temporally. Decapods with high economic value were also discussed.
