Abstract

The first record of an adult male of French angelfish Pomacanthus paru (total length = 295 mm; total weight = 855.3 g) in the coastal waters of Rio de la Plata mouth, Argentina is here reported. This finding extends the known limit to about 1200 km from the previous reported southernmost distribution of this tropical fish.
