Supplement to List of Irish Fishes

Abstract

In 1969 Dr, M, Kennedy of the Inland Fisheries Trust Inc, and I compiled a List of Irish fishes, which was published by the National Museum, Dublin. This List gave details of the authentic captures of fishes in Irish waters of less than 100 fathoms up to 1968. Since that time three annual lists of rare or interesting fishes from Irish waters have been published in the Irish Naturalist’s Journal (Went, 1970, 1971 and 1972). Details of the fish taken in 1972 will eventually be recorded in an annual list in The Irish Naturalist's Journal. In addition Dunne (1972) has given a list of fishes taken in Galway Bay and adjacent areas. These further captures of interesting species arc summarised in this Leaflet. The order of the species described is that given in the List to which reference should be made for details of captures prior to 1969. Unless stated otherwise all the fish in question were taken in trawls.
