The study of the Portuguese marine ichthyofauna has a long historical tradition, rooted back in the 18th Century. Here we present an annotated checklist of the marine fishes from Portuguese waters, including the area encompassed by the proposed extension of the Portuguese continental shelf and the Economic Exclusive Zone (EEZ). The list is based on historical literature records and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history collections, together with new revisions and occurrences.

The user has requested enhancement of the downloaded file. Chapter 26 - Agnatha CHAPTER 26: AGNATHA, CHONDRICHTHYES AND OSTEICHTHYES FISHES Antonis Petrou and Charitos Zapitis 1. INTRODUCTION The classification of fishes is not straightforward since they do not form a natural scientific grouping like the other vertebrate classes, i.e. the amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. Indeed, fishes can be considered by exclusion to be vertebrates that are not tetrapods (see Chapter 25: Introduction to Vertebrates). They are aquatic, gill- bearing, ectothermic ('cold-blooded') animals with a distinguishable head and, when present, digit-less limbs. Traditionally, fish have been arranged into three groups: ➵ Agnatha 1, the jawless fish (Myxini [hagfishes] and Hyperoartia [lampreys]); ➵ Chondrichthyes, the cartilaginous fish (sharks, skates and rays); ➵ Osteichthyes, the bony fish (Actinopterygii [ray-finned fishes] and Sarcopterygii [lobe-finned fishes]). This classification is adequate for general purposes, although Agnatha is paraphyletic and includes several groups of extinct jawless fishes.

The EBSA is divided by 3 sections, North MCA (32786 Km2), Center MCA (48048 Km2) and South MCA (29099 Km2). The structures in the EBSA are hotspots of marine life and in general they represent areas of an enhanced productivity, especially when compared with nearby areas. This EBSA has a total area of 109933 km2 with identified structures depths ranging from 50m (head of Nazaré canyon) to ~5000m (bottom of Nazaré canyon). The area presents particular features which make it eligible as an EBSA when assessed against the EBSA scientific criteria. All structures included in the MCA EBSA fulfill four or more out of the seven EBSA scientific criteria. A total of 3411 species are listed to the area, with 776 specifically recorded for different EBSA structures. From the total of species recorded 11% are protected under international or regional law. The EBSA is totally under Portuguese national jurisdiction, with its structures located on territorial waters and on the Portuguese Economic Exclusive Zone (EEZ).
