Abstract
C. granulosus, previously known only from the holotype, is now known to be relatively common and occurs from Uruguay to southernmost Argentina at depths of 150-1250 m as a result of trawling expeditions by the Federal Republic of Germany, Japan and USA. A plain-colored, short-spined form and a banded, long-spined form exists. Bunocottus apus may represent the same species as C. granulosus. Of the 6 possible Cottunculus, C. granulosus appears to be most closely related to C. microps, C. sadko and C. thompsoni of the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
