Abstract
The lesser argentine, Argentina sphyraena L., is a Mauretanian-Mediterranean-Boreal species extending from about 68° N. off the Norwegian coast to 25° N. off Spanish West Africa. It is most commonly caught on the offshore continental shelf in depths between 50 and 100 fm where average sea temperatures of 6° and 17°C are encountered at the northern and southern limits respectively of the species geographical range. Larger, older fish are taken in deeper water, and occurrences inshore and at depths less than 50 fm are usually associated with the presence of deep trenches over 50 fm.
