FIGURE 6 in The reef fish assemblage of the Laje de Santos Marine State Park, Southwestern Atlantic: annotated checklist with comments on abundance, distribution, trophic structure, symbiotic associations, and conservation

FIGURE 6. Selected fish species that dwell in the deep reef (30-45 m) community at the Laje de Santos State Marine Park. The deep-reef wrasse Halichoeres sp.n. (a); the reeffish Chromis cf. enchrysura (b); the red porgy Pagrus pagrus (c); the Brazilian sandperch Pinguipes brasilianus (d); the sea basses Acanthistius brasilianus (e), A. patachonicus (f) and Dules auriga (g); the snowy grouper Hyporthodus niveatus (h). The former species (a) is probably a Brazilian endemic, closely related to the Northwestern Atlantic species H. bathyphilus. The distinctive status from its sister species is supported by molecular mtDNA analysis (L.A. Rocha pers. comm.).The last six species (c-h) ranges southward to temperate Patagonian rocky reefs.
