New records of morid fishes (Teleostei: Gadiformes) from the southernmost tip of South America

Abstract

Three species of morid fishes were collected during the Expedition Antarktis XIII/4 of RV 'Polarstern' at the southernmost tip of South America, on the slope east of Isla Nueva, Southern Chile (ca. 55°S), Antimora rostrata (Gunther, 1878), Guttigadus kongi (Markle and Melendez, 1988) and Lepidion ensiferus (Gunther, 1887). Representing new records for the above area, all of them were previously recorded from the Chilean and Argentinean Patagonian region.
