| Definition / notes: | Epinephelus aeneus (Geoffroy St. Hilaire, 1817) E. aeneusoccurs throughout the southern Mediterranean and along the west coast of Africa to southern Angola. Heemstra, (1991) mentioned reports from the Canaries and Cape Verde Islands (based on the distribution map of Cadenat, 1935:fig. 29), but these records are unsubstantiated. Brito, (1991) did not include E. aeneus in his catalogue of the 20° fishes of the Canaries, and he informed us that although this species is often seen in the markets there, the specimens invariably emanate from the continental coast of Africa. The seasonal migration of E. aeneus off the coast 0° of Senegal is influenced by the seasonal upwellings off Senegal and Mauritania Cury and Roy (1988) . The description of Perca robusta (Couch, 1832) was apparently based on a stray individual that was caught off the south 20° coast of England. |
