First records of Chaunax apus (Chaunacidae) from Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan

Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Six specimens (79.4–236.9 mm in standard length) of a chaunacid species, Chaunax apus Lloyd, 1909, were newly recorded from the Enshu-nada Sea and Suruga Bay off Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. Although the species is widely distributed in the Indo-West Pacific waters, reliable records from Japanese waters were known only from off Cape Daio-zaki, Mie Prefecture and the Okinawa Trough (East China Sea). The present specimens from Suruga Bay represent the northernmost record of the species.
