| Biblio Comment | first record First record from a single specimen found beach-washed at BahÃa Inglesa. The presence of this temperate-tropical species at about 27° south of its previously recorded range may be explained by the absence of rigorous species-specific landing reports along the coasts of Peru and Chile. Another possible reason is that a strong warm phase of El Niño Southern Oscillation may have facilitated this epipelagic species to travel towards higher latitudes (Ref. 126352). |
