Cheilopogon heterurus (Rafinesque, 1810) View in CoL
A Mediterranean flyingfish, Exocoetidae ( Fig. 2G View Figure 2 ), was collected on 23 June 2017 by the fisherman Mr William Chaligné on the purse seiner Waraog IV from Concarneau. It was collected off Mousterlin (South Brittany, Bay of Biscay, France), at 47.812°N, – 4.032°W. The fresh specimen measured 370 mm TL, 303 mm FL, 285 mm SL, and the head was 60 mm long. Its weight was 271.3 g. Predorsal scales: 34; A: 7; D: 14; P: 15. The specimen was preserved with the collection No. MNHN-IC 2019-0097 and tissue sample was preserved under No. BPS-3857. Recorded by SPI. The present specimen is a new record for the NE Atlantic and the Bay of Biscay where the species is very uncommonly recorded ( Parin, 1986a; Quéro et al., 2006).
