New Record of Cartilaginous Fishes Found in Thai Waters and the Adjacent Areas and an Updated Species List in 2019
Abstract
The checklist of cartilaginous fishes found in Thai Waters and the adjacent areas is updated in 2019, including literature reviews and the one of results of the deep sea survey in the Andaman Sea of Thailand by Dr.Fridtjof Nansea Research Vessel in 2018. Thirteen new record species of cartilaginous fishes were found, comprising 7 sharks (Centrophorus granulosus, Centrophorus cf. moluccensis, Etmopterus granulosus, Etmopterus cf. pusillus, Apristurus longicephalus, Bythaelurus lutarius and Iago cf. mangalorensis), 3 rays (Benthobatis moresbyi, Cruriraja andamanica and Hexatrygon bickelli) and 3 ratfishes or Chimaeras (Chimaera macrospina, Hydrolagus deani and Neoharriotta pinnata). The update list of cartilaginous fishes found in Thai Waters and the adjacent areas was a total of 183 species, composed of 86 sharks, 92 rays and 5 Chimaeras.Keywords : cartilaginous fish, new record species, checklist, Thai WatersReferences
