Abstract
Four specimens of Balistes carolinensis (Balistidae, Plectognathi) were taken in Norwegian waters in autumn 1995. The first was taken 21 August in the Norwegian Sea SW of Perjohanneset (63°11' N, 04°45' E), while the three others were caught on the west coast of Norway: Ølvesvikjo (60°00'38" N, 05°48'30" E) on 16 September, Skjelangersundet (60°36'06" N, 04°57'00" E) on 19 September, and Hyllestad (61°10'30" N, 05°17'54" E) on 3 November. These are the first records of the species in Norway and also the northernmost records. The distribution of the species is described. Two of the specimens are kept alive at the Bergen Aquarium.
