Abstract. The study of the Portuguese marine iehthyofauna has a long historieal tradition, rooted baek

in the 18^*^ Century. Here we present an annotated eheeklist of the marine fishes from Portuguese waters,

ineluding the area eneompassed by the proposed extension of the Portuguese eontinental shelf and the

Eeonomie Exelusive Zone (EEZ). The list is based on historieal literature reeords and taxon oeeurrenee

data obtained from natural history eolleetions, together with new revisions and oeeurrenees. It eomprises

a total of 1191 speeies, distributed among 3 superelasses, 4 elasses, 42 orders, 212 families and 617

genera. If eonsidering only the EEZ and present territorial waters, this list represents an inerease of 230

speeies (27.8%) and of 238 speeies (29.0%), when eompared to the information available in FishBase

(2012) and in the last eheeklist of marine and estuarine fishes of Portugal (1993), respeetively. The

order Pereiformes shows the highest diversity, with 54 families, 162 genera and 299 speeies. Stomiidae

(80 speeies), Myetophidae (71 speeies) and Maerouridae (37 speeies) are the riehest families. From

the listed speeies, 734 are present off mainland Portugal, 857 off the Azores and 766 off Madeira.

Within the limits of the examined area, three speeies are reported for the first time in mainland Portugal

and twenty-nine reeords are identified as doubtful. A total of 133 speeies have been reeorded from the

extended Portuguese eontinental shelf (2 off mainland Portugal, 117 off the Azores and 14 off Madeira),

two of whieh are eommon to the Azores and Madeira extensions. Biogeographieally, the Atlantie group

is the most important (548 speeies - 46.01%), followed by the Fusitanian group (256 speeies - 21.49%),

the Afriean group (71 speeies - 5.96%), the Boreal group (34 speeies - 2.85%), the Mediterranean

group (31 speeies - 2.60%), the Maearonesian group (21 speeies - 1.76%), the Atlantie/Afriean group

(19 speeies - 1.60%) and the Mediterranean/Afriean and the Aretie groups, eaeh with only 1 speeies

(0.08%). Regarding the preferenees for vertieal habitat, the demersal fishes are the most important group

(305 speeies - 25.61%), followed by the mesopelagie group (228 speeies - 19.14%), the bathypelagie

group (164 speeies - 13.77%), the benthopelagie group (147 speeies - 12.34%), the bathydemersal

group (115 speeies - 9.66%), the reef-assoeiated group (88 speeies - 7.39%), the pelagie group (74

European Journal of Taxonomy 73: 1-73 (2014)

species - 6.21%), the epipelagic group (58 species - 4.87%) and 1 species (0.08%) of the benthic group.

The oceanic habitat is the best represented group comprising 446 species (37.45%), followed by the

shelf group (199 species - 16.71%), the slope group (164 species - 13.77%), the inner shelf group (89

species - 7.47%), the coastal group (70 species - 5.88%), the outer shelf group (29 species - 2.43%) and

the oceanic/shelf group (7 species - 0.59%).

Introduction

Portugal has the third largest Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of the EU and the twentieth largest

EEZ in the world, with a total of 1.727.408 km^ divided between mainland Portugal (327.667 km^),

the Archipelago of the Azores (953.633 km ^) and the Archipelago of Madeira (446.108 km^). In 2005,

a task group was created with the mission to prepare a proposal for the extension of the EEZ beyond

200 nautical miles, to be presented to the United Nations Commission on the Eimits of the Continental

Shelf (CECS). With this proposal, over 2.500.000 km^ may potentially be added to the EEZ, therefore

amounting to a total Portuguese area of 4.227.408 km^.

The Portuguese EEZ includes a variety of geographic zones. The northeastern Atlantic Ocean may be

divided into two main biogeographic regions: the Eusitanian (west of the British Isles, Bay of Biscay,

Iberian coast as far as Gibraltar) and northern European seas (including North Sea and Baltic Sea).

The Portuguese mainland, with a coastline of approximately 850 km, is included in the Eusitanian

biogeographical region. A clearly distinct area is also the Macaronesian Islands region. The Macaronesian

biogeographical region includes volcanic islands in the Atlantic Ocean, namely the Archipelago of the

Azores, the Archipelago of Madeira, the Canary Islands and the Cabo Verde Islands.

The variety of ecosystems in this vast area and the geographic position of Portugal determine and affect

the abundance and distribution of marine organisms. As a result, Portugal’s EEZ is a dynamic biodiversity

hotspot, where marine fishes from many different adjacent source areas converge (Costa et al. 2012).

The marine icthyofauna of Portugal is probably one of the richest among all European countries and it

appears particularly well suited to monitor changes in the marine fish species composition. Annotated

species checklists constitute invaluable tools to help taking snapshots of the biodiversity characterizing

a geographic area and assessing its spatial and temporal dynamics.

The annotation of the Portuguese marine ichthyofauna has a long historical tradition, rooted back to

1771, when the first checklist was compiled (Table 1). The expeditions carried out during the 18* and

19* centuries represented a unique opportunity for compiling new and updated lists, and since then the

number of species recorded has increased.

Here we provide an updated checklist of the Portuguese ichthyofauna, including the area of the proposed

extension of the Portuguese continental shelf, which builds upon the two most comprehensive checklists

of marine fishes Ifom Portugal, published in 1954 and 1993 (Albuquerque 1954-1956; Magalhaes &

Rogado 1993). We also integrate data and accessory information aquired from later checklists with

a regional scope, namely for the archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira. This checklist presents

information as correctly and exhaustive as possible, although possible errors cannot be excluded. The

authors cannot be made responsible for any errors, any misuse of data or any erroneous information

reported in the citations.

Material and methods

In drafting of the present eheeklist, we ineluded historieal reeords reporting on the oeeurrenee of marine

fish speeies from Portugal and published between the 18^“^ and the early 2P^ eenturies (Table 1). In

addition to the publieations listed in Table 1, other sourees were eonsulted, sueh as eleetronie databases and

reeords from museum eolleetions where the speeimens eaptured in the study area are deposited (Table 2).

The geographie areas eonsidered here are: the territorial waters, the Portuguese Eeonomie Exelusive

Zone - EEZ, and the proposed area for the extension of the Portuguese eontinental shelf (PECS) (Fig. 1).

The speeies with oeeurenees in the proposed area for the extension are indieated as “in the PECS area”.

We followed Nelson’s (2006) elassifieation system for taxonomie eategories*, Froese & Pauly (2012)

for the seientifie nomenelature^, and we used FAO names based on the Aquatie Seienee and Fisheries

Information System (ASFIS) for the majority of the English co mm on names. The taxonomie eategories

eonsidered in the eheeklist were: superelass, elass, order, family and speeies. Within eaeh family, speeies

were sorted alphabetieally.

For eaeh speeies, we provide the English eommon name aeeording to FAO’s global designation, or

the English vemaeular in ease no name was provided by FAO. “No eommon name” indieates that

the eommon name is not available. Oeeurrenees within a geographie area were marked as: mainland

Portugal ®, the Arehipelago of the Azores @, and the Madeira Arehipelago @. The use of one or more

of these symbols, ©@@, indieates the presenee of the same speeies in eaeh of the mentioned geographie

areas. Foeal names, when available in registers and doeuments, are reported followed by symbols for

the speeies’ relative geographie area of oeeurrenee. Taking into aeeount the extension of the study area,

the number of fishing eommunities eovered, and the diversity and riehness of loeal fish names used in

a eertain area, we deeided to indieate, for eaeh speeies, the most frequently used vemaeular names in

Portuguese. Thus, for a given geographie area and speeies more than one eommon name ean be provided.

The most important referenees for Portuguese vemaeular fish names are Albuquerque (1954-1956),

Castro (1967), Sanehes (1986, 1989) and the list of eommon names of the Portuguese legislation

(Annex 1 and 11 of the “Portaria n° 587/2006” - Fist of Authorized Commereial Names for Fishery and

Aquaeulture Produets, and “Deelara 9 ao de Reetifiea 9 ao n° 52/2006”).

The speeies present in the eolleetion of the Museu de Historia Natural - Museu Boeage^ University of

Fisbon, in the eolleetion of the Seienee Museum of the University of Coimbra, and in “Oeeanographie

Colleetion of D. Carlos 1” - Aquario Vaseo da Gama, are marked with an asterisk (^). The speeies

arehived in the eolleetion of the Department of Oeeanography and Fisheries of the University of the

Azores (Horta) and in the Museu Carlos Maehado (Sao Miguel) are marked with a diamond (O). The

speeies stored in the eolleetion of the Museu de Historia Natural do Funehal are marked with a square

(□).

As eriteria for inelusion, we eonsidered all speeies reeorded in the EEZ plus the Portuguese territorial

waters, and the proposed extension area of the Portuguese eontinental shelf. All reeords of oeeurrenee

from the PECS are indieated. Furthermore, all speeies eonsidered native to one of the three EEZ’s

(mainland Portugal, Azores and Madeira), but without reeords, are indieated.

' With the exception of the families Arhynchobatidae (Aschliman etal. 2012; Naylor etal. 2012), Howellidae (Prokofiev 2006),

Phycidae and Gadidae (Nolf 2013).

^ In addition, other sources (electronic databases) were also consulted, such as; ITIS (Integrated Taxonomic Information

System); CAS (California Academy of Sciences, Eschmeyer 2013); GNI (Global Names Index; Patterson et al. 2010).

^ The Museu Bocage (MB) was completely destroyed by fire in March 1978 and consequently all the types of fishes preserved

there to that date were lost.

CARNEIRO M. et al.. Updated checklist of marine fishes from Portugal

For the biogeographical distribution we referred to Ellis et al. (2008). In terms of horizontal habitat

preference, fish were broadly classified as: coastal, shelf, inner and outer shelf, slope, oceanic and

oceanic/shelf (adapted from Ellis et al. 2008). Considering the fish distribution in the vertical habitat

we used the following terminology: benthic, benthopelagic, mesopelagic, pelagic, epipelagic, demersal,

bathydemersal, and reef-associated (adapted from Ellis et al. 2008).

In the list, NM stands for nautical miles.

Results

Global appraisal of species richness, biogeographic groups, and habitat distribution

The checklist comprises a total of 1191 species, representing 3 superclasses, 4 classes, 42 orders, 212

families and 617 genera (Table 3). The order Perciformes shows the highest diversity, with 54 families,

162 genera and 299 species. Of all the families, Stomiidae (80 species), Myctophidae (71 species) and

Macrouridae (37 species) were the richest (Table 3).

The highest number of species was detected off the Azores (857), followed by Madeira (766), and the

Portuguese mainland (734). A total of 133 species occurrences were included for the PECS area (2 in the

Portuguese mainland, 117 off the Azores and 14 in Madeira), two of which are co mm on to the Azores

and Madeira extensions. For the first time we report three species observed off mainland Portugal

(Bajacalifornia megalops (Liitken, 1898), Fistularia petimba Eacepede, 1803 and Scombrolabrax

heterolepis Roule, 1921) and, for the whole study area, thirty records are annotated as doubtful.

As a result of the update of the two most eomprehensive eheeklists of marine fishes from Portugal

published in 1954 and 1993 (Albuquerque 1954-1956; Magalhaes & Rogado 1993), the Portuguese

iehthyofauna ineluded in the three EEZ’s (mainland Portugal, Azores and Madeira) inereased by 230

speeies (27.8%) or 238 speeies (29.0%), eompared to Fishbase (2012) and to the last eheeklist of marine

and estuarine fishes of Portugal (1993), respeetively.

In terms of biogeographieal affinities, 9 of the 13 groups referred to by Ellis et al. (2008) were identified,

namely the Atlantie, the Eusitanian, the Afriean, the Boreal, the Mediterranean, the Maearonesian, the

Atlantie/Afriean, the Mediterranean/Afriean and the Aretie groups. Among these, the Atlantie, the

Eusitanian and the Afriean groups are the largest represented, with atotal of 46.01%, 21.49% and 5.96%

respeetively, when EEZ and the proposed area of extension are eonsidered. The remaining groups are

residual (Table 4). Beeause 209 speeies eurrently laek biogeographieal elassifieation, they were ineluded

in the uneertain group.

Regarding the vertieal habitat preferred by fish, all 9 groups referred by Ellis et al. (2008) were identified,

namely the demersal, the mesopelagie, the bathydemersal, the bathypelagie, the benthopelagie, the reef-

assoeiated, the pelagie, the epipelagie, and the benthie group (Table 5). In what eoneems the horizontal

habitat, all 7 groups suggested by Ellis et al. (2008) were eharaeterized. The oeeanie is the most important

group, followed by the shelf group, the slope group, the inner shelf group, the eoastal group, the outer

shelf group, and the oeeanie/shelf group (Table 6). Beeause 11 speeies eurrently laek vertieal habitat

elassifieation and 187 speeies laek horizontal habitat elassifieation, they were ineluded in the uneertain

group and an unknown group respeetively.

Family Squalidae

According to Ebert & Stehmann (2013), three species of the genus Squalus are recognized in the North

Atlantic (S. acanthias, S. blainvillei and S. megalops), but S. blainvillei and S. megalops may represent a

species complex. The taxonomic arrangement of Squalus species is provisional, pending the review and

resolution of the S. blainvillei and S. megalops complexes.

* Squalus acanthias Einnaeus, 1758 - Piked dogfish; Galhudo-malhado®, @@

The presence of this species off the Azores needs further confirmation (Santos etal. 1997). According to Ebert

& Stehmann (2013) its occurrence off the Azores is probable.

Squalus blainvillei (Risso, 1827) - Eongnose spurdog; Galhudo®, @

Arruda (1997) considered the presence of this species off the Azores as doubtful.

Squalus megalops (Macleay, 1881) - Shortnose spurdog; Galhudo-de-focinho-curto®

The species S. megalops is regarded as being present to the south of mainland Portugal, based on its

geographical distribution (Ebert & Stehmann 2013).

Family Centrophoridae

Munoz-Chapuli & Ramo (1989) reviewed the systematics of Centrophorus from the eastern North

Atlantic and recognized four different species: C. squamosus, C. granulosus, C. lusitanicus and C.

niaukang. However, recent studies indicated that C. niaukang may be restricted to the western Indo-

Pacific (Ebert & Stehmann 2013). The taxonomic arrangement of Centrophorus species is provisional,

and a comprehensive systematic review of Centrophorus, including detailed descriptions of external

morphological, anatomical and molecular characters (Munoz-Chapuli & Ramo 1989), are necessary

both to elucidate the variation and interrelationships of Centrophorus species and to rectify several

outstanding problems within the genus. According to Ebert & Stehmann (2013), the species Centrophorus

uyato Rafinesque, 1810, is not actually a Centrophorus species, but rather a Squalus of uncertain identity.

W, 32.0° N, and off mainland Portugal EEZ (16NMNE of the Carlos Ribeiro Gap), BMNH. 1994.11.1.3931,

10.0° W, 32.0° N. According to Smith (1989), L. giganteus is probably the larva of a Notacanthus species.

Moser & Charter (1996) indicated it as a larva of Notacanthus chemitzii Bloch, 1788. According to Eschmeyer

(2013), L. giganteus is uncertain in the family Notacanthidae. This record should be considered provisional

and confirmation is still needed.

This species is reported off the Azores, in the PECS area (78 NM WSW of the Plato Seamount), SOC,

Discovery No. 1024504_84_FIS_134001, 30.7150°W, 32.4366°N, 22 Nov. 1980.

° Evermannella balbo (Risso, 1820) - Balbo sabertooth; ©©@

Evermannella melanoderma Parr, 1928 - India sabertooth; ©@

This Atlantic species has the same English common name as E. indica Brauer, 1906. A revision of the genus

Evermannella resulted in the distinction between the species (Swinney 1994). Therefore, all previous records

of E. indica in the Atlantic are now known as E. melanoderna. In our opinion the common name should be

modified.

the “Valdivia”, during 1898-1899. According to Haulley & Duhamel (2009), the type specimen caught near

Madeira {Myctophum longipes Brauer, 1906, accepted as B. longipes) is apparently referable to B. indicus.

The occurrence of this species in Madeira, however, is questionable.

Peabody Museum (catalogue number YPMICH 004979). According to Zahuranec (2000), N. nigrum is found

in the tropical Pacific, excluding the Eastern Tropical Pacific Region, throughout the East Indian archipelago

as far west as the extreme eastern tropical Indian Ocean. For this reason, the occurrence of N. nigrum is very

doubtful and the species was not accounted for in the total number of species in the current list.

Coryphaenoides asper Gunther, 1877 - No common name;

The species C. asper is regarded as being present off the Azores (GBIF occurrences). Two specimens are

deposited in the fish collections of the Museum National d’Histoire Naturelle, MNHN No. 2009-0420,

25.4680° W, 39.4180° N, 17 Oct. 1971; MNHN, No. 2009-0419, 25.4680° W, 39.4180° N, 17 Oct. 1971. In

2009 the specimens were re-evaluated and identified as Coryphaenoides sp. The occurrences from the Azores

are therefore considered as doubtful and the presence of this species off the Azores should not be accepted.

For this reason this species is not counted in the present list.

analyses strongly suggest that there are no specific differences between the Atlantic Lepidion eques and the

Mediterranean species L. lepidion (Risso, 1810). Therefore, they proposed Z. eques as a junior synonym ofZ.

(2005), information on the collection area was obscure but unequivocal (Murray 1895). Over time, erroneous

reports of the occurrence of P. membranaceus accumulated in literature. In fact, Gunther’s (1887) description

omitted mentioning that it was from Chile (“... off Cape St. Vincent, Station 310 ...”). Subsequent authors

did not verify the actual collection data, and even the Natural History Museum online catalogue included

incorrect collection data that have subsequently been corrected (Stein 2005). Burke (1930) also omitted the

information that the specimen was from the fjord waters of southern Chile, and Nobre (1935) and Albuquerque

(1954-1956) referred to Gunther and Burke. Still later, Lindberg (1973) misinterpreted “Cape St. Vincenf’

as meaning “ofT Portugal”, i.e. the Cape St. Vincent, which is the best known geographic feature of the south

coast of Portugal. Stein & Able (1986) cited Lindberg. The species P. membranaceus was omitted from the

reviews of Chilean liparids (Stein et al. 1991) and of Southern Ocean species (Andriashev 1998, 2003). The

P. membranaceus record off mainland Portugal is erroneous. For this reason this species is not included in this

Post & Quero (1991) reviewed the species Howella brodiei Ogilby, 1899, and demonstrated the existence

of two subspecies: H. brodiei atlantica (Post & Quero, 1991) from the North and tropical Atlantic and H.

brodiei brodiei Ogilby, 1899 from the Indian and Pacific Oceans. The authors also showed that the number

of scales between the origin of the second dorsal fin and the lateral line separates the Atlantic populations

of Howella into two different species: Howella brodiei atlantica and Howella sherborni (Norman, 1930).

Eschmeyer (2013) raised the subspecies Howella brodiei atlantica (Post & Quero, 1991) to species level:

Howella atlantica (Post & Quero, 1991). The records of H. brodiei in the northeast Atlantic should probably

be considered as belonging to H. atlantica.

Family Carangidae

The limits of earangid genera are in many eases poorly defined. This is in part a eonsequenee of some

fundamental problems in the delimitation of generie and sub-generie taxa within the family (Gunn

1990). A partieular ease in point is the separation of the large genus Caranx Laeepede into a series of

smaller genera ineluding Carangoides Bleeker, Selar Bleeker, Alepes Swainson, Atule Jordan & Jordan,

Decapterus Sleeker, Pseudocaranx Bleeker, Ulua Jordan & Snyder, Uraspis Bleeker and Caranx (sensu

According to Kukuev et al. (2012), the specimen described by Maul in 1949 as Platyberyx opalescens

Zugmayer, 1911 concerns P. mauli. The latter differs from P. opalescens in the structure of a branchial apparatus

(morphology and number of gill rakers and more numerous teeth on the vomer) and body proportions (body

depth, eye diameter, head length and position of the pelvic fins).

° Platyberyx opalescens Zugmayer, 1911 - No common name; Aia®, ® ®

According to Kukuev et al. (2012), reliable catches of P. opalescens are known from Portugal to northern

Mauritania and suggest that the range of the species includes the near-bottom waters of the continental slope

(bathial-pelagic ichthyocene) of the East Atlantic. According to Santos et al. (1997), the presence of this

species off the Azores is based on the identification of a 63 mm specimen caught by the R/V “Michael Sars” at

European Journal of Taxonomy 73: 1-73 (2014)

29.7833° W, 36.8833°N (St. 56). According to Eschmeyer (2013) the range of the species is wider (Greenland

Discussion

The present checklist compiles for the first time an annotated list of fish species occurring both in the

Portuguese EEZ and territorial waters, and in the area corresponding to the proposed extension of the

Portuguese continental shelf (PECS). Based solely on updated information on species occurrences, this

new checklist results in an addition of over 200 species to the Portuguese marine ichthyofauna, which

corresponds to a relevant increase of about 28% compared to earlier and current compilations (Froese &

Pauly 2012; Magalhaes & Rogado 1993). To this primary list we add 130 new species records from the

area corresponding to the PECS. Therefore, the grand total of 1191 marine fishes included here represent

approximately 88% of the 1349 species listed for Europe in the European Register of Marine Species

(Costello et al 2006), although the surveyed areas do not match completely.

The great increase in species numbers in the current checklist can be justified in a number of ways.

Part of this increase is a consequence of new records for deep-sea fishes obtained from recent deep-

sea surveys. We also recovered a number of old records and found new relatively recent records in

the literature that had not yet been included in databases or that had not been considered in previous

checklists (e.g., Vieira et al. 2012; Menezes et al 2012).

There is growing scientific evidence that, as a result of global warming, the traditional pattern of species

distribution seems to have altered in the last decades (since about the mid-1980s). In general, a warmer

oceanic temperature would result in poleward advances of species with an affinity to warm water

(Lusitanian) and the retreat of species with an affinity to cooler water (Boreal) (Brander et al 2003;

Southward et al 2005; Stefansdottir et al 2010).

European Journal of Taxonomy 73 : 1-73 ( 2014 )

From our data we could not infer any global trend of this kind, since most of the records in the checklist

lack historical occurrence data. However, it is possible to identify some poleward expansions towards

the Iberian coast and the Azores among tropical Atlantic fishes, such as occurred, for example, with

Fistulariapetimba (Azevedo et al. 2004; Banon & Sande 2008), Zenion hololepis (Martins et al. 2012)

and Acanthurus monroviae (Horta e Costa & Gon 9 alves 2013). Conversely, there is evidence of the

contraction of southern range limits of boreal species towards higher latitudes, and the decrease of their

records, as for example observed for Salmo salar and Cyclopterus lumpus.

Quero et al. (1998) investigated the alteration of the northward range extension of fish species associated

with the warming of European Atlantic waters since 1963. The upper slope species have made regular

northward range extensions off southern Portugal to northwestern Ireland, more and less rapidly, taking

about thirty years for Cyttopsis roseus and Zenopsis conchifer and only six years for Sphoeroides

pachygaster. Another example of these alterations is the substantial increase in the abundance of a sub¬

tropical species, the boarfish Capros aper, that correlates with the temperature increase on the northeast

Atlantic continental shelf (Blanchard et al. 2005; Coad et al. 2012).

Owing to the fact that marine ecosystems are infiuenced by many factors, the interpretation of alterations

in species ranges may not be simple. Some of these factors are strongly correlated, as for biogeochemical

cycles (CO^) and the eduction of the pH of surface seawater (acidification); primary production, nutrient

availability and foodwebs; overfishing, recruitment and phenological relationships. The establishment of

invasive species may also have a far-reaching effect. Those factors may provide a growing contribution

to the threatened biodiversity at a global scale because of the cumulative impact of different variables.

The NRIC (National and Regional Implementation Co mm ittees / Census of Marine Life) reported

overfishing, habitat loss, and pollution (contamination by xenobiotics and eutrophication), to be the

greatest threats to marine biodiversity, followed by alien species and the impacts of warming due to

climate change (Costello et al. 2010).

In the present work we chose to apply a large spatial scale to our biogeographical analysis. Globally,

the biogeographical composition analysis revealed that the Atlantic group is the largest, with almost the

46.01% of the total species represented. The Lusitanian (21.49%) and the African (5.96%) groups are

also important. Six other groups are minor, including the Boreal group, the Mediterranean group, the

Macaronesian group, the Atlantic/African group, the Mediterranean/African group and the Arctic group.

By providing a biogeographic classification of the species in the current checklist, we aim at contributing

to the understanding of the distribution of species and habitats for the purposes of scientific research,

conservation and management, and ultimately for policy definition. This is particularly relevant given

that the effective application of the proposed extension of the EEZ may result in one of the largest

EEZ of the world, covering a major section of the northeast Atlantic. Scientifically, this biogeographic

classification can provide a basis for hypotheses and further scientific studies on the origin and evolution

of deep-sea fauna assemblages and the linkage between species communities and open-ocean and deep-

sea environments. From a policy perspective, such a classification is a necessary component, when

considering area-based management options, such as marine protected areas, particularly when assessing

representativity of a potential network (Vierros et al. 2009).
