This study recorded a single female specimen of the sponge crab Dromia personata (Linnaeus, 1758) found in the shallow coastal waters of the Erdemli coast (Akkum) of Mersin Bay in July 2024. The present record confirms its presence in the northeastern Mediterranean (Türkiye). It is recommended that further research be conducted to determine the ecological significance of D. personata and to consider possible strategies for studying this species in this region.
