New records and range extension of two deep-sea skate genera, Amblyraja and Notoraja (Elasmobranchii: Rajiformes), in the southeastern Pacific Ocean
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 March 2024
Abstract
Two species of deep-sea skates, Amblyraja frerichsi and Notoraja martinezi, are reported for the first time in Peruvian waters, representing the first record of their respective genera from the country. Earlier, A. frerichsi was known from both the southwestern Atlantic (off Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina) and southeastern Pacific (off Chile), while N. martinezi was known from Costa Rica to Ecuador in the eastern-central and southeastern Pacific. This study contributes to the limited knowledge of deep-sea fish diversity along the South American west coast, and stresses the need of further taxonomic research in the region, particularly in light of the ecological importance of this group of fishes in marine ecosystems and its conservation state worldwide.
