A commented checklist containing 139 species of marine fishes recorded at the Galician Bank seamount is presented. The list is based on nine prospecting and research surveys carried out from 1980 to 2011 with different fishing gears. The ichthyofauna list is diversified in 2 superclasses, 3 classes, 20 orders, 62 families and 113 genera. The largest family is Macrouridae, with 9 species, followed by Moridae, Stomiidae and Sternoptychidae with 7 species each. The trachichthyd Hoplostethus mediterraneus and the morid Lepidion lepidion were the most abundant species. Biogeographically, the Atlantic group, with 113 species (81.3%) is the best represented, followed by the Lusitanian one with 17 species (12.2%). Data on species abundance, as number of individuals caught, size and depth are reported. Habitat, distribution and vulnerability status are commented. Moreover, biometric data and meristic counts are also reported for several species. The results obtained showing a high fish biodiversity and a sensible number of threatened species, strongly support the future declaration of the Galicia Bank as a Marine Protected Area.
本文呈现了一份包含在加利西亚海山记录的139种海洋鱼类的注释清单。该清单基于1980年至2011年期间使用不同渔具进行的九次勘探和研究调查。鱼类区系清单分为2个超纲、3个纲、20个目、62个科和113个属。最大的科是长尾鳕科，有9种，其次是稚鳕科、巨口鱼科和褶胸鱼科，各有7种。燧鲷科的地中海胸棘鲷和稚鳕科的鳞稚鳕是数量最多的物种。在生物地理学上，大西洋类群有113种（占81.3%），是最具代表性的，其次是伊比利亚类群，有17种（占12.2%）。报告了有关物种丰度的数据，如捕获个体数量、大小和深度。对栖息地、分布和脆弱性状况进行了注释。此外，还报告了几种物种的生物测量数据和可数性状计数。所获得的结果显示出鱼类生物多样性高且有相当数量的受威胁物种，有力地支持了未来将加利西亚海山宣布为海洋保护区。
