Abstract

In this paper, we report for the first time the occurrence of the swimming crab Charybdis hellerii (A. Milne-Edwards, 1867) on the continental shelf of Amapá State. Four specimens were collected as bycatch fauna during industrial fishing operations targeting the southern brown shrimp. The specimens have been deposited in the Carcinological Collection of the Centro Nacional de Pesquisa e Conservação da Biodiversidade Marinha do Norte — ICMBio/CEPNOR. The occurrence fills a knowledge gap about the distribution of the species in the northern Brazilian coast since the species was recorded in French Guyana and in the northern to southeastern regions of Brazil.
