Registros novos e adicionais de teleósteos marinhos na costa brasileira

Abstract

São apresentadas novas informações sobre a distribuição geográfica de algumas espécies de peixes teleósteos que ocorrem na costa brasileira, incluindo duas espécies que nunca haviam sido registradas em nossas águas. Os serranídeos Pseudogramma gregoryi (assinalado da Flórida à Venezuela) e Plectranthias garrupellus (registrado da Carolina do Norte ao Caribe) foram encontrados, respectivamente, na costa do Ceará e na costa sudeste-sul do Brasil. São aqui mencionados e discutidos os dois primeiros registros do gênero Caristius (Caristiidae) no Brasil, bem como os primeiros registros na costa sudeste-sul do Brasil das espécies Enchelycore carychroa (Muraenidae), e Chilomycterus antillarum (Diodontidae), e da espécie Neobythites brasiliensis(Bythitidae) no nordeste do Brasil. É também assinalada a ocorrência mais setentrional do pargo Calamus mu (Sparidae), uma espécie até então circunscrita à região entre o Espírito Santo e São Paulo, e são discutidos os registros adicionais de Bascanichthys paulensis (Ophichthidae), Nezumia aequalis (Macrouridae), Antigonia combatia (Caproidae) e Notolycodes schmidti (Zoarcidae) na costa brasileira.

Deep-sea manefishes (Perciformes: Caristiidae) from oceanic islands and seamounts off northeastern Brazil, with comments on the caristiids previously reported in Brazilian waters

“…In addition to the caristiids reported herein, a few specimens have been previously recorded off Brazilian coast. Caires et al (2008) recorded two specimens of Caristius collected off southern Brazil. The first one (MZUSP 93287) was identified as Caristius macropus (Bellotti, 1903), collected off State of Rio Grande do Sul, at 32°58'S, 50°35'W, 99 m depth; and the second (MZUSP 86699) was named as Caristius sp., collected off State of São Paulo, at 26°19'49"S, 45°57'00"W, 600 m depth.…”

“…The authors, however, recognized the identification of both specimens was tentative due to the lack of taxonomic revisions available at that time. Based on the recent reexamination of the specimens reported by Caires et al (2008) Despite we consistently used two nets (micronekton and mesopelagic), specimens reported herein were caught only with the micronekton net, which has a greater mesh size and seems to have a higher fishing efficiency for caristiids. This has also been found in many mesopelagic studies (e.g.…”

The Scientific Explorations for Deep-Sea Fishes in Brazil: The Known Knowns, the Known Unknowns, and the Unknown Unknowns

“…Partnership with commercial fishing boats also are a good source of scientific material, serving the base for new records of nine species of Actinopterygii in Northeastern Brazil and the description of a new genus and species, Leucogrammolycus brychios Anderson and Mincarone 2008 (Zoarcidae) (Anderson and Mincarone 2008;Caires et al 2008;de Paiva et al 2011).…”

Mesophotic fishes of the Abrolhos Shelf, the largest reef ecosystem in the South Atlantic

“…Six species represent new records for the Abrolhos region. The reef bass Pseudogramma gregoryi (Breder 1927) was previously recorded in north‐eastern Brazil (Eskinazi & Lima, ; Caires et al ., ) and on seamounts and islands of the Vitória‐Trindade chain (Simon et al ., ; Pinheiro et al ., ). Two specimens of the deep reef scorpionfish Scorpaenodes tredecimspinosus (Metzelaar 1919) and the presence of the black triggerfish Melichthys niger (Bloch 1786) recorded by ROVs also represent range extensions within the Brazilian coast.…”
