Abstract

        Isopod crustaceans are common benthos, widely distributed in terrestrials and aquatic habitats. This study aims to explore the species diversity of isopods in Amphawa Estuary, Samut Songkhram Province, during March – June 2022. The isopods were sampled by Ekman grab and seven artificial settlement pads, i.e., fine filter, coarse filter, flute board, coconut husk, oyster shell, doormat, and brush. A total of 4 species from 3 families were found. The dominant species was Ischyromene sp. The result revealed that Bangchang Creek contained the highest diversity, followed by Soi Mangkorn Tong, Ampawan Wittayalai School, and Darunanukrao School.
