Abundance and distribution of lantern fishes (Myctophiformes: Myctophidae) around San Pedro Martir Island, Gulf of California, during 2008

Myctophids (Myctophidae) are a group of abundant mesopelagic fishes in the world's oceans and are known as the main feeding resource for several high trophic level predators. Changes in abundance may be related to population size of some commercially important species that feed on them. Only tw...
