Notes on some fishes associated with the Antarctic krill. II. On Xenocyttus nemotoi ABE, and again on Neopagetopsis ionah NYBELIN
Since the description of Xenocyttus nemotoi ABE in 1957,there have been but a few records of this oreosomatid fish. Recently it is taken from time to time along with the Antarctic krill, and 29 specimens have been received for study. Their size varies very little, standard length being 113mm to 180m...
