- Description
- Online version of original print edition of the Special Publication of the J.L.B. Smith Institute of Ichthyology; No. 31, Reports of triacanthodid fishes from the Indian Ocean published since the revision of the family by Tyler (.1968) are reviewed, and new records are added from off the east coast of Africa. These new records are based mostly on specimens recently collected by the R/V Fridtjof Nansen off Kenya (including new western Indian Ocean records of Halimochirurgus alcocki and of Bathyphylax bombifrons), as well as on some older materials from the J.L.B. Smith Institute of Ichthyology and the South African Museum. Eight species of triacanthodids known from off east Africa are discussed briefly, with special attention given to Bathyphylax bombifrons and B. omen, previously known only from holotypes, for which additional specimens are now available. Seven species are illustrated with photographs.
