Caranx crysos (Mitchill, 1815)

Two Blue runners, Carangidae , were collected on 13 Sep 2019 by the fisherman Mr Anthony Landrin on the coastal gillnetter L’Iroise from Audierne. They were collected off Pointe de Feunteun Aod (48.0258°N, 4.7027°W, Pendreff, Finistère), at 15 m depth. One of the specimens ( Fig. 5B ) measured 422 mm TL, 365 mm FL, 340 mm SL, 94 mm HL and weighed 883 g. It was taxidermized by Bernard Bourles and preserved with the collection No. MNHN-IC 2021 -

0145. A tissue sample was preserved under No. BPS-4272. Recorded by P. Poussard. The species is uncommon in the Bay of Biscay, with only seven records since its first record in 1902 ( Fabre-Domergue, 1902; Quéro et al., 1994, 2001, 2005, 2007; De Casamajor and Morandeau, 2013). The species was recorded in 2018 for the first time in the French waters of the English Channel ( Iglésias et al., 2020). Two specimens, 29 and 37 cm TL, were also recorded for the first time in the UK in 1992 in Portland Harbour, Dorset (English Channel) and in 1993 in Saint Ives Bay, Cornwall ( Swaby et al., 1996).
