First record of the midwater scorpionfish Ectreposebastes imus (Scorpaeniformes: Setarchidae) in the subtropical eastern Atlantic (Canary Islands).

The midwater scorpionfish Ectreposebastes imus (Scorpaeniformes: Setarchidae) is distributed in tropical and subtropical waters of the worldwide oceans, at depths of 150–800 m. It has previously been recorded from the Gulf of Guinea in the eastern Atlantic. The present work extends the northern limit for the distribution of E. imus in the Atlantic Ocean to the area of the Canary Islands. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
