Resumo(s)
The Gorringe seamount is located in the convergence of the Eurasian and African plates, more than 100 nautical miles from
the closest shore and isolated by depths over 3000 m. Underwater surveys were carried out at Gettysburg and Ormonde
peaks to identify the ichthyofauna present at Gorringe. Ten species are first records for this seamount with special emphasis
on two species of Blenniidae: Parablennius pilicornis and Parablennius ruber. Most species observed are widely distributed:
48% Atlantic-Mediterranean, 24% Eastern Atlantic, 12% Amphi-Atlantic, 12% Cosmopolitan. Only one species is
endemic of the Macaronesia region (Abudefduf luridus). The most common species were A. luridus, Coris julis and
Thalassoma pavo. This paper presents additional and relevant information on the ichhtyofauna of the Gorringe seamount.
