A first Pompano, Carangidae ( Fig. 5D ), was collected on 7 Sep. 2018 by the sport fisherman Mr Christophe Thépaut with a line from a kayak. It was collected in the Aulne River mouth, close to Landévennec (Finistère, France), at about 48.29°N, – 4.26°W at the surface over 10 m depth. The specimen measured about 40 cm TL. A second specimen ( Fig. 5E ) was collected on 1 Oct. 2018 by the sport fisherman Mr Gil Moreau (warden of Tristan Island) on his boat Mickaël. It was collected with a trammel net close to Tristan island in the Bay of Douarnenez (Finistère, France), at about 48.11°N, – 4.34°W, at roughly 10 m depth. The specimen measured about 30 cm TL.
