The coastal area in North Sulawesi which has a length of about 1.985 km, is a potential area with biodiversity supported by the associated biota in it. Order Decapoda, infraorder Brachyura is one of the many biotas found in coastal areas. It is estimated that about 5,400 species of Brachyura live in coastal areas. The purpose of the study was to identify the crabs caught at Minanga Beach, Manado Bay Waters, Malalayang Satu Village Malalayang District Manado City based on the morphological characteristics of crabs. The sample was collected in February 2022. The method used in this research is the cruising survey method, which has been done by tracing the marked location and then taking all the crabs species found. Identification is done by observing the morphology of the crab, such as carapace shape, claws, walking legs, presence of spines on the carapace, carapace size, abdomen shape, sexual dimorphism that occurs in crabs, presence of hair/setae, and color/pattern of crabs. Based on the research conducted, as many as five species of crabs were found in Minanga Beach, namely: Thalamita prymna, Thalamita sp., Thalamita admete, Ozius rugulosus, Ozius tuberculosus.Keywords: Brachyura; Identification; Thalamita; Ozius; Manado Bay.AbstrakWilayah pesisir di Sulawesi Utara yang memiliki panjang sekitar 1.985 km, merupakan wilayah yang potensial dengan keanekaragaman hayati yang didukung oleh biota yang berasosiasi di dalamnya. Ordo Decapoda, infraordo Brachyura merupakan satu dari banyak biota yang ditemukan di wilayah pesisir. Diperkirakan sekitar 5.400 spesies brachyura hidup di wilayah pesisir pantai. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengidentifikasi kepiting yang ditangkap di Pantai Minanga, Perairan Teluk Manado, Kelurahan Malalayang Satu, Kecamatan Malalayang, Kota Manado berdasarkan ciri morfologi kepiting. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan pada bulan Februari 2022. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah metode survei jelajah, yaitu dengan menyusuri lokasi yang telah ditandai lalu mengambil semua spesies kepiting yang ditemukan. Identifikasi dilakukan dengan memperhatikan morfologi kepiting, seperti: bentuk karapas, capit, kaki jalan, keberadaan duri pada karapas, ukuran karapas, bentuk abdomen, seksual dimorfisme yang terjadi pada kepiting, keberadaan rambut/setae, dan warna/corak kepiting. Berdasarkan penelitian yang dilakukan, sebanyak lima spesies kepiting ditemukan di Pantai Minanga, yaitu: Thalamita prymna, Thalamita sp., Thalamita admete, Ozius rugulosus, Ozius tuberculosus.Kata Kunci: Brachyura; Identifikasi; Thalamita; Ozius; Teluk Manado.
