Platyberyx opalescens Zugmayer 1911
Description
□ Platyberyx opalescens Zugmayer, 1911
– No common name; Aia ①, ②③
According to Kukuev et al. (2012), reliable catches of P. opalescens are known from Portugal to northern Mauritania and suggest that the range of the species includes the near-bottom waters of the continental slope (bathial-pelagic ichthyocene) of the East Atlantic. According to Santos et al. (1997), the presence of this species off the Azores is based on the identification of a 63 mm specimen caught by the R/V “Michael Sars” at 29.7833º W, 36.8833º N (St. 56). According to Eschmeyer (2013) the range of the species is wider (Greenland and eastern Atlantic).
