Journal Article
Coastal habitat evidences and biological data of Alepisaurus ferox (Aulopiform; Alepisauridae) from northwestern Iberian Peninsula
2022
Overview
Several specimens of
Alepisaurus ferox
Lowe,
1833
were caught in the coastal Galician waters (Northwest Spain). From two preserved specimens, morphometric and meristic parameters, along with DNA barcoding, confirmed the identification of the specimens. Examination of the stomach contents revealed a diverse diet with up to 13 different preys with only three species in common (swimming crab, salps and the hyperiid amphipod pram shrimp). It is the first time that gadid fishes
Micromesistius poutassou
(Risso,
1827
) and
Trisopterus luscus
(Linnaeus,
1758
), crustaceans
Polybius henslowi
Leach, 1820 [in Leach,
1815–1875
] and
Pasiphaea sivado
(Risso,
1816
), and parasitic nematodes of the genus
Anisakis
Dujardin,
1845
are reported in the stomach of this species. Histological examination of the gonads showed a simultaneous hermaphrodite strategy, with both ovary and testis in immature phase in the same gonad, but well differentiated. These results contribute to a better knowledge of this pelagic and mainly offshore fish species in coastal areas.
