Howella atlantica Post & Quéro, 1991 View in CoL
An Atlantic pelagic basslet, Howellidae ( Fig. 4H View Figure 4 ), was collected on 27 Oct. 2018 during the EVHOE survey, using a pelagic trawl. It was collected at Station W0568 (Southern Bay of Biscay, France), at 44.3322 / 44.3448 °N, –2.3215 / –2.4118 °W, at roughly 530 m depth above the continental slope at 1160-1220 m depth. The fresh specimen measured 111 mm TL, 100 mm FL, 92 mm SL, 32 mm HL and weighed 17 g. The specimen was preserved with the collection No. MNHN-IC 2020-0095 and a tissue sample was preserved under No. BPS-4253. Recorded by J. Spitz and S.P. Iglésias. The species was recorded only once in the Bay of Biscay ( Post and Quéro, 1991) and it is an addition to the Checklist of the marine fishes from metropolitan France ( Béarez et al., 2017).
