Abstract
Abstract—
A new species of family Melamphaidae is described from the central part of the Atlantic: Scopeloberyx shakhovskoyi. The species belongs to the oligorakered Scopeloberyx fishes (15–18 rakers on the first gill arch and pectoventral horizontal distance between the vertical lines of lower edge of the pectoral fin and the origin of ventral fin is less than 5% SL). The fish were caught at depths in a range of 700–0 m. Scopeloberyx nigrescens sensu Keene is proposed as synonymous to the new species.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Ichthyology is an international peer-reviewed journal published in collaboration with the Russian Academy of Sciences. It covers original studies in fish taxonomy, evolution, molecular biology, morphology, species diversity, zoological geography, genetics, physiology, ecology, behavior, reproduction, embryology, invasions, and protection. Some problems of applied ichthyology are also covered. The journal welcomes manuscripts from all countries in the English or Russian language.
