The Reef-fish Fauna of the Northern Patagonian Gulfs, Argentina, South-western Atlantic: Fishes Checklist

A checklist containing 29 species of reef fishes recorded at the gulfs San José and Nuevo in Argentina (~42º–43ºS) is provided. The reef-fish assemblages of the San José and Nuevo gulfs are a mix of warm-temperate fauna from the South-western Atlantic Province, and cold-temperate species from the South-American Province; however, warmtemperate fishes dominated in both gulfs. The presence of the families Bovichtidae, Eleginopidae, Nototheniidae, Congiopodidae, Sebastidae and Moridae distinguished the Patagonian region from the rest of the Atlantic coast.

本数据集收录了一份物种核查表，记录了阿根廷圣何塞湾与新海湾（约南纬42°–43°）海域的29种礁栖鱼类。圣何塞湾与新海湾的礁栖鱼类群落，由源自西南大西洋生物地理区的暖温带动物类群与源自南美生物地理区的寒温带物种混合组成；但两处海湾均以暖温带鱼类占主导地位。牛首鱼科（Bovichtidae）、丽鳍鲉科（Eleginopidae）、南极鱼科（Nototheniidae）、康吉鲉科（Congiopodidae）、平鲉科（Sebastidae）与稚鳕科（Moridae）这六个科的存在，使得巴塔哥尼亚区域有别于大西洋沿岸其余区域。
