Description
Five hundred eighty-three (583) species of fishes in 115 families are recorded for this Atlantic coastal locality in southeastern
Florida. Two hundred six (206) of these are considered primary
reef species. Habitat preferences, depth distributions, and qualitative
categories of abundance are included. One new species, Apogon
leptocaulus Gilbert, and two new continental records, Acanthemblemaria
chaplini Bohlke and Lipogramma trilineata Randall, were collected
during this study. L. trilineata is the first confirmed record of the
family Grammidae in the continental United States. Micrognathus
ensenadae (Silvester) is also added to the fish fauna of the United
States. An additional 198 species and 11 families are recorded as
neighboring to the study area. Zoogeographic comparisons are discussed.
Tropical reef fishes maintain permanent populations at least as far
north as Palm Beach, Florida. Five hundred references pertaining to
Caribbean and south Florida fishes are cited.
