The inshore fishes of Heard and McDonald Islands, Southern Indian Ocean
Nine species of fishes are recorded from the inshore waters of Heard and M c Donald Islands. These records confirm the affinities of the fish fauna of these islands to that found at the nearest neighbouring islands, the Iles Kerguelen, 380 km to the north‐west on the same submarine plateau.
