FIRST RECORDS OFF OREGON OF THE 



PELAGIC FISHES PARALEPIS ATLAMTICA, 



GONOSTOMA ATLANTICUM, AND APHANOPVS 



CARBO, WITH NOTES ON THE ANATOMY 



OF APHANOPVS CARBO' 



The species covered in this report are common in 

 parts of the Atlantic Ocean and all are known to 

 occur in the Pacific Ocean. We fill a gap in knowl- 

 edge of the distribution of two species known 

 formerly only north and south of Oregon, extend 

 the northward range of Gonostoma atlanticum 

 Norman, and report inshore occurrences of 

 Paralepis atlantica Kr0yer. The unusual gross 

 anatomy surrounding the gas bladder of 

 Aphanopus carbo Lowe is worthy of description. 



Methods 



Counts and measurements followed those of 

 Hubbs and Lagler (1958) and all measurements 

 were taken to the nearest 0.1 mm. Specimens are 

 catalogued in the fish collections of the Depart- 

 ment of Fisheries and Wildlife (OS) or the School 

 of Oceanography (OSUO), Oregon State Univer- 

 sity. Anatomical terminology follows that of Lag- 

 ger et al. (1962) and Romer (1970). Four speci- 

 mens of A. carbo from Oregon were dissected and 

 two were radiographed. Two specimens from the 

 Atlantic Ocean off Madeira were dissected and 

 radiographed. Complete vertebral counts could 

 not be made from the radiographs due to poor 

 resolution of the small posterior caudal vertebrae. 



Notes on Distribution and Morphology 



Paralepis atlantica has been recorded in the 

 eastern Pacific from Baja California and Califor- 

 nia (Rofen 1966) and from the vicinity of Willapa 

 Bay, Wash. (Kajimura 1969). Bakkala (1971) re- 

 ported the species from surface waters of the cen- 

 tral Pacific at lat. 48°00' N, long. 165°00' W. 



Two specimens of P. atlantica were found on 

 shore in northwestern Oregon. One (OS 956:456 

 mm SL) was taken alive on the beach at Netarts, 

 Tillamook County, on 7 October 1963. Another 

 (OS 5160:466 mm SL) was found dead on the 

 beach 29 km north of Seaside, Clatsop County, on 

 16 May 1960. A specimen ofG. atlanticum (OSUO 

 2402:59 mm SL) was captured on 30 July 1977, 65
