Sagamichthys schnakenbecki (Krefft, 1953)

Two Schnakenbeck’s searsids, Platytroctidae ( Fig. 3E ), were collected on 27 Oct. 2018 during the EVHOE survey ,

using a pelagic trawl. They were collected at Station W 0568 ( Southern Bay of Biscay , France), at 44.3322 / 44.3448 °N, –2.3215 / –2.4118 °W, at up to about 530 m depth above the continental slope at 1160-1220 m depth. The fresh specimen measured 159 mm TL, 156 mm SL, 42 mm HL and weighed 27 g. This specimen was preserved with the collection No. MNHN-IC 2020-0086 and a tissue sample was preserved under No. BPS-4254. Three other individuals were collected at Station W 534 at 46.2636 / 46.2142 °N, –4.4126 / –4.424 °W, at roughly 850 m depth above a 1230/ 1850 m deep continental slope; a further two individuals were collected at Station W 0545 at 45.1746 / 45.1310 °N, –3.3865 / –3.4475 °W, at roughly 830 m depth above a 2500-3100 m deep continental slope. Recorded by J. Spitz and S.P. Iglésias. This species is uncommonly recorded in the Bay of Biscay .
