| Abstract | Chimaeras, fish in the order Chimaeriformes, are among the rarest and least
studied fish in the class Chondrichthyes (cartilaginous fish). Previous records
have indicated that a species of chimaera known as the elephantfish, or
cockfish, Callorhinchus callorynchus , may be found in marine waters off
southeastern Brazil, as far north as the state of São Paulo. Here we report that
C. callorynchus , caught with bottom gillnet, was found in an urban fish market
in the city of Rio de Janeiro (~23˚S). This and other records from a variety
of places call into question the distribution limits of the American elephantfish
in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean and whether, at least seasonally, this
species may often be found as far north as the state of Rio de Janeiro. Because
of scientific and conservation interests in the poorly known Chimaeriformes,
we recommend long-term monitoring of the fish catch in ports along the
southern Brazilian coast, to better understand the natural history of the intriguing
chimeras. | pt_BR |
