This study presents the first list of fish species from Madagascar Reef, Campeche Bank, Gulf of México. Field surveys and literature review identified 54 species belonging to 8 orders, 30 families and 43 genera, comprising both conspicuous and cryptic fishes. Species richness was lower at this reef site compared to reefs in the Mexican Caribbean, Veracruz or Tuxpan, but was similar to other reefs in the same region. Species composition was a mixture of species present in all the reef systems of the Mexican Atlantic. Hypoplectrusecosur was recorded here for the first time in the Gulf of Mexico, Mycteropercamicrolepis, Equetuslanceolatus and Chaetodipterusfaber were new records for the reefs of the Campeche Bank, Elacatinusxanthiprora was recorded for the second time in Mexico and expanded its known distribution westwards from Alacranes Reef and Sanopusreticulatus, endemic of the Yucatan state, was recorded here for the first time on a reef.
本研究列出了墨西哥湾坎佩切浅滩马达加斯加礁的首批鱼类物种清单。通过实地调查和文献综述，共识别出54种鱼类，分属于8目、30科和43属，既有显眼的鱼类，也有不易发现的鱼类。与墨西哥加勒比地区、韦拉克鲁斯或图克斯潘的珊瑚礁相比，该珊瑚礁地点的物种丰富度较低，但与同一地区的其他珊瑚礁相似。物种组成是墨西哥大西洋所有珊瑚礁系统中现有物种的混合。Hypoplectrus ecosur首次在墨西哥湾被记录到，Mycteroperca microlepis、Equetus lanceolatus和Chaetodipterus faber是坎佩切浅滩珊瑚礁的新记录，Elacatinus xanthiprora在墨西哥第二次被记录到，其已知分布范围从阿拉克兰斯礁向西扩展，尤卡坦州特有的Sanopus reticulatus首次在该珊瑚礁被记录到。
