Distribution and biology of pelagic fishes in the open South-East Pacific Ocean during 2002 and 2009 (based on the data of cruises 32 and 53 of R/V STM 8390 "Atlantida")
The data on occurrence of pelagic fishes <i>Trachurus murphyi</i>, <i>Scomber japonicus</i>, <i>Brama brama</i>, <i>Cubiceps cаeruleus</i>, <i>Schedophilus huttoni</i>, <i>Thyrsites atun</i> and <i>Emmelichthys cyanescens</i> from the open South-East Pacific Ocean are presented. The coordinates and depth levels of catches, catches by weight and number, data on fish length composition, gonads maturity stages, typical fish records on echograms are given. Data expeditions of 2002 and 2009 are compared to the literature data on spreading, vertical distribution, and biological parameters of fish species.
