Abstract(s)
In this paper we report for the first time the occurrence of Parablennius sanguinolentus in mainland Portuguese waters. Since this species is common in the Mediterranean and in the Bay of Biscay, there appears to be a distributional gap along the Portuguese coast. The present finding, together with recent data on the occurrence of several other blenniids in the Atlantic coast of the Iberian Peninsula, formerly supposed to be Mediterranean endemics, stresses the urgent need for detailed zoogeographical investigations on the inshore fish fauna of south-west Europe.
