Astronesthes niger Richardson, 1845 View in CoL
A Snaggletooth, Stomiidae ( Fig. 3G View Figure 3 ), was collected on 26 Oct. 2018 during the EVHOE survey, using a pelagic trawl. It was collected at Station W0562 (Southern Bay of Biscay, France), at 43.6455 / 43.6608 °N, –2.1769 / –2.2636 °W, at roughly 710 m depth above a 1290-1370 m deep continental slope. The fresh specimen measured 186 mm TL, 173 mm FL, 163 mm SL, 37 mm HL and weighed 42 g; OA: 36; PV: 12. This specimen was preserved with the collection No. MNHN-IC 2020-0088 and a tissue sample was preserved under No. BPS-4247. Recorded by J. Spitz and S.P. Iglésias. The species has been recorded only twice in the Spanish waters of the Bay of Biscay ( Durand, 1937; Quéro, 1970). This species is a first record for the French waters and is an addition to the Checklist of the marine fishes from metropolitan France ( Béarez et al., 2017).
