Luvarus imperialis Rafinesque, 1810 View in CoL
A Luvar, Luvaridae ( Fig. 4B View Figure 4 ), was collected on 18 Jun. 2018 by the fisherman Mr Martial Hascoet on the commercial gillnetter Outsider from Morlaix, with a hook at the surface after colliding with the screw propeller. It was collected in the English Channel off Porznéjen (Finistère, France), at 48.6870°N, – 4.1972°W. The specimen measured about 140 cm TL and weighed 86 kg. The specimen was landed at the Roscoff fish auction market but was taken out of sale by the person in charge of the fishmarket because the species was unknown. Recorded by P. Bergot. This species is uncommonly recorded in European Atlantic waters ( Quéro et al., 1992, 2007b; Quigley, 2004).
