  Abstract:  This paper represents a biogeographic study on the distribution of freshwater crustacean species of the Astacidae (Decapoda), Gammaridae (Amphipoda) and Asellidae (Isopoda) Malacostracans in the rivers of the Anina Mountains, in Southwestern Romania. Two species of crayfish, three species of Amphipods and one species of aquatic Isopods have been identified. The specimens were captured by hand from the river bad (crayfish) or using Surber collector (for small malacostracans). The data come to complete the existent data as to the distribution and the relative size of the population in the two national parks located in the investigated area - the Semenic-Cheile Caraşului (Semenic - Caras Gorges) National Park and the Cheile Nerei-Beuşniţa (Nera Gorges - Beuşniţa) National Park. The georeferenced data acquired can be used in the policymaking process for the protected areas located within this mountain range.
