Lampanyctus intricarius

This large lanternfish (attaining 200 mm according to Hulley, 1981) is found in all three oceans. In the Atlantic, where a bipolar temperate or bipolar subpolar-temperate distribution is indicated, L. intricarius is found mainly in the east (Backus et al., 1977). This species is rare in the study area, being represented in Ocean Acre collections only by two juveniles, 29 and 55 mm, taken in August-September.
