First record of Diaphus rafinesquii (Cocco, 1838) (Myctophidae) in the Norwegian Sea
The myctophid Diaphus rafinesquii is endemic in the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean and was for the first time found in the Norwegian Sea. The specimen was captured off northern Norway at about 71° N, representing the northernmost record so far. Meristic and morphometric comparisons showed no e...
