Abstract

We present four new fish records for the marine area of the Veracruzano Reef System National Park, records with photographic evidence, basic morphometric and meristic data are provided: the Arrow stargazer, Gillellus greyae (70.3 mm, Total length), the gobiid Oxyurichthys stigmalophius (36.6 mm, Total length), Rough triggerfish Canthidermis maculata (342.4 mm, Total length) and the Sailfish Istiophorus platypterus (?1,800 mm, Total Length) with wide distribution in the Caribbean; in addition the first record in the Gulf of Mexico of the Mottled flounder Bothus maculiferus (250 mm, Total length).
