            <p>Material examined. Two unsexed adults, 508 mm TL, 423 mm SL (TFMCBM-VP/01958), 480 mm TL, 408 mm SL (TFMCBM-VP/01959), off La Santa, Tinajo, west of the island of Lanzarote, 29°10’N 13°40’W, 280-290 m, 28 Jan. 2023, soft substrate, bottom trammel net.</p>

Adult megrims occur on soft bottom. They are voracious diurnal predators feeding primary on small bottom-living fishes, but also including squids and crustaceans in its diet (Nielsen, 1986; Munroe and Chanet, 2016). For more information on biological, ecological and fisheries data on this species, see Munroe and Chanet (2016) and Froese and Pauly (2023). Distribution: Eastern Atlantic. Known from Scandinavia (Iceland, Norway, and Sweden) (64°N), Baltic Sea and Faeroe Islands and southward to off the coasts of western Europe and northwestern Africa to about Cape Bojador, Western Sahara (26°N), including the Azores Islands; also western, central, and eastern Mediterranean Sea (Munroe and Chanet, 2016; Froese and Pauly, 2023).</p>

                 sighted off Puerto del Carmen, Tías, eastern coast of the island of Lanzarote. The larger specimen (about 35 cm TL) was photographed by the third author on a sandy bottom at 12 m depth at 28°55’9.3”N 13°40’13.7”W, 26 Jun. 2021, 19:00 (at sunset). The smallest specimen (about 30 cm TL) was recently observed by another diver on a sandy clearing surrounded by rocks at 5 m depth at 28°55’9.1”N 13°40’10.1”W, 6 May 2023, 21:30 (nocturnal), about 50 m away from the previous one  .

            <p>Maximum published size, 100 cm TL (Nielsen, 1986) and 25 kg (Frimodt, 1995); common length up to 50-70 cm TL (Muus and Dahlstrøm, 1989; Frimodt, 1995; Munroe and Chanet, 2016). The individuals observed therefore correspond to adult or subadult specimens.</p>
            <p>Remarks. – It is an eastern Atlantic cold-temperate species, inhabiting on sandy, rocky or mixed substrata in coastal waters, from 1 m to about 70 m (Muus and Dahlstrøm, 1989; Munroe and</p>
            <p>Chanet, 2016). A marine and brackish species. Adult turbots feed primarily on other bottom-living fishes including gobies, sand eels, herrings, young soles, and occasionally consuming decapod crustaceans and bivalve molluscs (Munroe and Chanet, 2016; Froese and Pauly, 2023). For more information on biological, ecological and fisheries data on this species, see Munroe and Chanet (2016) and Froese and Pauly (2023). Distribution: Eastern Atlantic; from coastal waters of Norway above Arctic Circle (about 70°N) and Iceland, most of Baltic Sea, along western European coasts including Great Britain and western Ireland, south to off Cape Bojador, Western Sahara (26°N); also, throughout the Mediterranean, Black Sea and Azov Sea. A single capture from Caspian Sea (Munroe and Chanet, 2016; Froese and Pauly, 2023).</p>
