Abstract

On 30 September 2007, one specimen of Chili sea catfish Notarius troschelii was collected by a shrimp trawler on the continental shelf of the Mexican State of Nayarit. The fish, with a total length of 706 mm and a weight of 3910 g, constitutes a new record of maximum length and weight for this species.
