| Summary: | Perciform fish of the suborder Notothenioidei dominate the cold shelf waters surrounding the Antarctic continent. The past decade has been an active period in the taxonomy and systematics of this group. Since publication of Fishes of the Southern Ocean in 1990, 11 new notothenioid species have been described and seven others placed in synonymy. The suborder currently includes eight families with 43 genera and 122 species. Ninety-six species inhabit Antarctic waters and 26 are non-Antarctic. A list of species with authorities and dates is provided. There are brief comments on species placed in synonymy, collection localities for new species and intraspecific variation. |
