New record of two Indo-Pacific reef fish, Caranx ignobilis and Naso annulatus, from the Galapagos Islands

Abstract:

The first records of Caranx ignobilis and Naso annulatus in the Galapagos Archipelago are reported based on several sightings from its northernmost island, Darwin. For C. ignobilis this also represents its first record from the Tropical Eastern Pacific region, considerably expanding its geographical distribution. Vagrant status is proposed for both species in the Galapagos shore fish list. © Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom 2013.
