Description
Summary:The authors present data regarding the composition, distribution and relative abundance of six species belonging to the Family Myctophidae in the Flemish Cap area, Northwest Atlantic: Lampadena speculigera Goode & Bean, 1896; Benthosema glaciale (Reinhardt, 1837); Myctophum punctatum Rafinesque, 1810; Protomyctophum arcticum (Lütken, 1892); Ceratoscopelus maderensis (Lowe, 1839) and Notoscopelus kroeyerii (Malm, 1861). A review of their distribution in the Atlantic Ocean is also presented, as well as a discussion of the relationship between dominant system currents and their presence on the Flemish Cap.
