The coastal fishes of Madeira Island — new records and an annotated check-list Author Wirtz, Peter Author Fricke, Ronald Author Biscoito, Manuel José text Zootaxa 2008 1715 1 26 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.274128 29ee5190-56be-4f31-8810-fcd4070a5c4e 1175-5326 274128 Scorpaenidae While a common coastal fish in other areas, Scorpaena notata Rafinesque-Schmaltz, 1810 is found only deeper than 100 m at Madeira and therefore not counted as a coastal species here. * Scorpaena canariensis (Sauvage, 1878) —Canary Islands rockfish Recorded from Madeira by Brito (1991) . A previous record of Scorpaena laevis Troschel, 1866 (on the basis of BMNH 1984.3.6.551-556) was re-identified as S. canariensis . Thus, there is no reliable record of S. laevis from Madeira. The specimens of S. canariensis in the collection of the MMF come from 100 m and deeper. However, there are shallow water records of this species both at the Canary Islands and at the Azores; we therefore tentatively here list S. canariensis as a coastal species. * Scorpaena maderensis Valenciennes, 1833 —Madeira rockfish Scorpaena porcus Linnaeus, 1758 —Black scorpionfish This record needs confirmation. * Scorpaena scrofa Linnaeus, 1758 —Largescaled scorpionfish
