Description

Eucopia unguiculata (Willemoës-Suhm, 1875)

Distribution. Widely distributed in the world oceans in tropical and temperate areas. Atlantic, Indo-Pacific, Antarctica, Philippines. Northwestern Mediterranean Sea.

Depth range. 100–6500 m.

Habitat. Bathypelagic as adult, young specimens live in considerably higher levels than adults.

Iberian Seas published records. SE Bay of Biscay continental slope (Fage 1942, De Jong & Casanova 1997b, Lagardère & Nouvel 1980, Lagardère 1983, 1985, Petryashov 2014). Southern margin of the Cap-Ferret trench (Elizalde et al. 1991, 1993, Elizalde 1994, Sorbe & Weber 1995). Cap Breton canyon (Frutos & Sorbe 2014). Off the Asturian Central Coast (Nouvel 1943, Anadon 1993). Le Danois Bank (Sánchez et al. 2008). Off Finisterre (Illig 1930, Fage 1942). Off Calician and Asturian coasts (Lagardère 1983). Azores /Biscay rise close to the margin of the Iberian-Abyssal Plain (42ºN, 17ºW: Angel et al. 1982, Hargreaves 1985). Off Lisboa (Nouvel 1943). Gibraltar (Nouvel 1942). Gulf of Cádiz and Alboran Sea (Nouvel 1943). Catalan Sea (Nouvel 1943, Stefanescu & Cartes 1992, Cartes & Sorbe 1995, Cartes 1998, 1993, Cartes et al. 2013). SW Balearic Islands (Dion & Nouvel 1960, Cartes et al. 2003, 2008). Off Barcelona, Menorca and Mallorca (Nouvel 1943). Banyuls-sur-mer (Denis 1929). Offshore species related to the Canary Archipelago (Wittmann & Wirtz 1998, Wittmann et al. 2004). South Canary Islands- Cape Bojador (Illig 1930, Fage 1942). Madeira (Illig 1930). Canary Islands (Haroun & Garrido 2003, IEO 2013ab). Islas Salvajes (Hernández et al. 2008). Madeira and Canary Islands (Wittmann & Riera 2012). Azores (Fage 1942). Atlantic coast of Morocco (Furnestin 1957, Wittmann & Riera 201).

Remarks. According to Tattersall & Tattersall (1951), Wittmann & Ariani (2010) and Wittmann & Riera (2012), Eucopia hanseni Nouvel, 1942, is considered synonymous with Eucopia unguiculata (several Iberian records of this specie are reported as E. hanseni).
