Revisión taxonómica de la ictiología marina de Galicia: Clase Actinopteri (Orden Acipenseriformes al Orden Scorpaeniformes)

Abstract

In this work, a taxonomic revision of Galician bony fishes (Class Actinopteri, from Order Acipenseriformes to Order Scorpaeniformes) is carried out through the different treaties and ichthyological publications published along history. A total of 212 species are listed, of which eight are considered doubtful, since their presence has not been sufficiently demonstrated, or because their taxonomical status is uncertain. A revision of the scientific nomenclature used so far has allowed us to reassign old names to new species, correcting identification errors by other authors. This revision also allows us to know the first citation for each species and to establish a precise chronology of the historical knowledge of the taxonomy of these groups of fishes.
