Systematics and distribution of leptocephali in the western South Atlantic

Leptocephali collected from the western South Atlantic between 33°-48°S and 47°-63°W during 1966-1998 were examined and described. Six families and twelve species were recorded (Congridae: Ariosoma opistophthalmum (Ranzani, 1840), Bassanago albescens (Barnard, 1923), Bathycongrus dubius (Breder, 192...
