"The inshore Canarian fish fauna includes 217 species from 67 families. Fifteen new records (including two undescribed species) and numerous rare species have been included. The number of fishes documented from the Canary Islands and nearby waters total approximately 400 species. This figure includes some 200 pelagic, deepwater, and elasmobranch species not treated in this study. The fish fauna contains elements from the Mediterranean-Atlantic and West African areas, but does not exhibit any clear transtition. Three endemic species of fishes have been confirmed. The families with the greatest diversification include: Sparidae (21 species), Scorpaenidae (11), Gobiidae (11), Blenniidae (10), Serranidae (9), Carangidae (9), Muraenidae (7), and Labridae (7)--P. [1]."
