Description
Summary:Notothenioid fish were collected in the coastal part of the James Ross Island (Antarctica) mainly during Austral summer in 2012. In this paper, we report the list of species records and their basic biometric measurements as a reaction to missing ichthyofaunal investigation of this particular area. Collected fishes belong to the families Nototheniidae (Trematomus bernacchii Boulenger, 1902; T. eulepidotus Regan, 1914; T. newnesi Boulenger, 1902; Gobionotothen gibberifrons (Lönnberg, 1905); Notothenia coriiceps Richardson, 1844) and Bathydraconidae (Gymnodraco acuticeps Boulenger, 1902).
