Abstract
The record of two species of mesopelagic fishes caught in the south of Veracruz, Gulf of Mexico is presented, at a depth close to between 100 and 120 m. The presence of Big-scale pomfret, Taractichthys longipinnis (385 mm standard length [SL]) and the Oilfish, Ruvettus pretiosus (496 mm SL), are sign of their mesopelagic habits and their recent commercial exploitation as tuna fishery bycatch.
