Collections were made by the French RV Antea during the ABRACOS 2 (Acoustics along the BRAzilian COaSt) expedition, between April 9 and May 6, 2017. Among the six species of argentiniforms identified, three are reported for the first time in Brazilian waters: Xenophthalmichthys danae (Microstomatidae), Opisthoproctus soleatus and Rhynchohyalus natalensis (Opisthoproctidae). Three additional species previously recorded off Brazil have their geographic distributions extended to the northeastern region of the country: Dolicholagus longirostris, Melanolagus bericoides (Bathylagidae), and Winteria telescopa (Opisthoproctidae). Remarks on other species of the Argentiniformes reported in the Brazilian Exclusive Economic Zone are also provided. A total of 11 genera and 14 species of the order are confirmed to occur in the region. specialized Mesopelagic fishes seamounts Rocas Atoll Fernando de Noronha Archipelago western Tropical Atlantic ATLANTIQUE BRESIL ZONE TROPICALE 034 16 10 762-773 2021 1745-1000 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010081276 10.1080/17451000.2021.1891806 1745-1000 [F B010081276] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010081276 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2021-05/010081276.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2021-05-17 2025-02-24 fdi:010081276 fre
