M. Vianna et Fa. Bockman, NOTE ABOUT COSMOCAMPUS-ALBIROSTRIS (KAUP, 1856) (GASTEROSTEIFORMES, SYNGNATHIDAE) IN THE BRAZILIAN SOUTHEAST COAST, Arquivos de biologia e tecnologia, 38(3), 1995, pp. 893-898
The first record of Cosmocampus albirostris (Kaup, 1856) in southeaste
rn Brazilian coast is herein reported. finding represents their southe
rnmost known limit in weastern Atlantic. Crypticism is shown by underw
ater observations of the species in natural environment. This factor a
nd the lack of the studies in Brazilian coast areas like rochy shore a
nd coral reefs explain the absence of record for the species in the la
st century.
