摘要

A recent sample (28 specimens from South Georgia and 1 from Shag Rocks) of the plunderfish Artedidraco mirus collected in June 2004 during the ICEFISH Cruise yielded sufficient data to refute two long-held assumptions about this species: (1) it is endemic to South Georgia; (2) its mental barbel is sexually dimorphic (tapered in females and club-shaped with papillae in males). A. mirus exhibits three types of mental barbel: A: tapered without a terminal expansion; B: with a narrow terminal expansion composed of simple papillae; C: with a wide terminal expansion composed of convoluted or elaborately branched papillae. There is no correlation between barbel type and body size or sex. We also found sexual dimorphism in the relative height of the second dorsal fin (30% higher on average in males) and in the colour of the anal fin (black in males over 60 mm SL). The largest males possess a prominent ruffled urogenital papilla, also black in colour. Barbel histology resembles that of other artedidraconids (Dolloidraco longedorsalis, Pogonophryne scotti) studied in containing large nerve trunks and blood vessels lateral to a pseudocartilagi-nous core and dermal papillae with an extensive network of nerves and blood vessels. The high degree of intraspecific variation in artedidraconid barbel structure warrants caution in using this structure as a diagnostic taxonomic character.
