Lanternfishes (Myctophidae) in Sri Lankan Waters
Abstract:
A total of 16 species of lanterfishes was identified off Sri Lanka from cruises with R.V. “Dr. Fridtjof Nansen” during 1979 and 1980. Three of these, Benthosema pterotum, Bolinichthys longipes and Myctophum obtusirostrum, were recorded for the first time in the area investigated. Other studies on myctophids indicate the presence of about 40 species off Sri Lanka and adjacent waters.
