Abstract
MORALES-AZPEITIA, Rufino; LOPEZ-MARTINEZ, Juana and VALDEZ-HOLGUIN, José Eduardo. New bathymetric record for the fish bighead mora, Laemonema verecundum (Gadiformes: Moridae) in the Gulf of California, Mexico. Hidrobiológica [online]. 2017, vol.27, n.1, pp.123-126. ISSN 0188-8897.
Background:
The presence of Laemonema verecundum (Jordan & Cra mer, 1897) had not been previously reported at depths less than 666 m.
Goals:
The objective of the research was to study the bathymetric distribution of L. verecundum.
Methods:
In the eastern continental shelf of the Gulf of California, 648 specimens of L. verecundum were collec ted during two experimental research cruises in September 2004 and February 2005.
Results:
Specimens were collected at depths between 165 and 483 m, where temperatures ranged between 9.5 and 19.9° C, and average oxygen concentration was 1.7 mg/l.
Conclusions:
This new record expands the known bathymetric distribution range of this species inhabiting shallow waters in the gulf.
