Abstract

The first records of Caranx ignobilis and Naso annulatus in the Galapagos Archipelago are reported based on several sightings from its northernmost island, Darwin. For C. ignobilis this also represents its first record from the Tropical Eastern Pacific region, considerably expanding its geographical distribution. Vagrant status is proposed for both species in the Galapagos shore fish list.
