Occurrence of the flagfin mojarra, Eucinostomus melanopterus (Bleeker, 1863) (Perciformes: Gerreidae), near Mar del Plata city (Argentina): southernmost occurrence on the western Atlantic coast

First report of the black gemfish Nesiarchus nasutus (Perciformes: Gempylidae) in Argentinean waters

“…The occasional presences of tropical and subtropical fishes in Argentinean waters are well documented in the literature (Cousseau and Figueroa, 1989;Díaz de Astarloa and Figueroa, 1995;Díaz de Astarloa et al, 2000;Figueroa et al, 2000;Rico and Acha, 2003;Scenna et al, 2006;Solari et al, 2010;Spath et al, 2012;Delpiani et al, 2013). The Argentinean marine biogeographic province (Briggs and Bowen, 2012) is characterized by the encounter between the warm, southward-flowing Brazilian Current, and the cold, northward flow, of the Malvinas Current (Figueroa et al, 1998) and water discharge of continental output (Lucas et al, 2005).…”

Southernmost record of Coryphaena hippurus Linnaeus, 1758 (Coryphaenidae) in the southwest Atlantic Ocean, off Mar del Plata, Argentina

“…Over the past two decades, numerous teleost species of tropical and subtropical origin, as well as other marine organisms, have been documented in temperate waters, providing further support for the WCD hypothesis (e.g. Scenna et al 2006, Segura et al 2009, Izzo et al 2010, Solari et al 2010, Bogan & Di Martino 2011, Milessi et al 2012, Delpiani et al 2013, Bruno et al 2014, Trobbiani et al 2014, Spath et al 2015, Leoni et al 2016, De Wysiecki et al 2018). This trend is likely attributable to regional tropicalization, where tropical and subtropical environmental conditions are increasingly observed in areas previously characterized by temperate conditions (Cheung et al 2012, Milessi et al 2015.…”

Variación estacional y nictímera en la captura y distribución de tallas de especies de mojarras en una laguna costera, categoría Ramsar

“…Con respecto a E. melanopterus está llegó a ser la segunda especie más abundante del estudio, aunque no mostró un claro patrón de abundancia estacional relativa, sus pulsos máximos se presentaron en julio-octubre (Figura 5) los mismos que coinciden con la época de lluvias, tal comportamiento fue consistente con lo registrado en Rio de la Plata (Delpiani et al, 2013).…”
