Diversity and biogeography of fishes in the Arinaga-Gando area, east coast of Gran Canaria (Canary Island)
A check-list of fishes regularly present in waters of the Gando-Arinaga area, in the East coast of Gran Canaria, is presented herein. This inventory includes 175 species, 22 of which were of chondrichthyans (belonging to 19 genera and 13 families), and 153 were of actinopterygiians (121 genera and 6...

| Sumario: | A check-list of fishes regularly present in waters of the Gando-Arinaga area, in the East coast of Gran Canaria, is presented herein. This inventory includes 175 species, 22 of which were of chondrichthyans (belonging to 19 genera and 13 families), and 153 were of actinopterygiians (121 genera and 60 families), 77.15% of the species have stable populations in the area and 61.15% have commercial interest. The zoogeographic analysis showed a dominance of the Atlantic-Mediterranean distribution species (26%), followed by the Warmtemperate in the Eastern Atlantic distribution species (16%), while Eastern Central Atlantic Oceanic Islands (9%), Guinean (8%) and Macaronesian (4%) species showed smaller values, but they were representative of the general biogeographic pattern of the canarian ichthyofauna. |
