Merluccius polli and M. senegalensis (Merlucciidae) as first records from the Canary Islands (north-eastern Atlantic), with morphology data

Abstract

La capture d’un individu de Merluccius polli et d’un autre de M. senegalensis représente le premier signalement pour ces espèces tropicales aux îles Canaries. Deux hypothèses principales peuvent être proposées pour expliquer la présence des deux espèces de merlu noir dans les eaux des Canaries : des individus errants ou l’expansion de l’aire de répartition naturelle des zones voisines. Ce travail contribue également à la connaissance des caractéristiques morphologiques et méristiques des deux espèces, y compris la formule vertébrale et ses caractéristiques distinctives.

The finding of an individual of Merluccius polli and another of M. senegalensis constitutes the first record for these tropical species in the Canary Islands. Two main hypotheses can be proposed to explain the presence of both species of black hake in Canary waters: straying individuals or a natural range expansion from nearby areas. This report also contributes to the knowledge of the morphological and meristic characteristics of both species, including their vertebral formulae and distinguishing features.
