Title

1992 - 1993 Swaby et al South Coast Britain Blue Runner (Caranx crysos) fish records

Abstract

In September 1992 a blue runner (Caranx crysos) (37 cm) was caught off Portland Harbour, Dorset, by an angler. In August 1993, a second blue runner (29 cm), was hand-lined in St Ives Bay, Cornwall by Mr Astrinsky, of Penzance. These two fishes are the first records of the blue runner C. crysos from British waters, and represent a northerly extension to its range.

Lineage

In September 1992 a blue runner (Caranx crysos) (37 cm) was caught off Portland Harbour, Dorset, by an angler. Initially the specimen was not recognized as a rarity and it was damaged while being prepared as bait for a lobster pot. Fortunately it was retrieved and sent to the Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and Food (MAFF) laboratory at Lowestoft where it was identified. In August 1993, a second blue runner (29 cm), was hand-lined in St Ives Bay, Cornwall by Mr Astrinsky, of Penzance. It was also taken to a MAFF office, at Newlyn, for identification where one of the authors made a provisional identification before sending it to the British Marine Fishes Database at the Marine Biological Association for final verification.
