Peces de Galicia

Numerosas son las guías sobre ictiofauna que, gastadas ya del uso, adornan nuestras estanterías. La ictiología es una de nuestras pasiones y por suerte no tenemos que viajar a mares exóticos ni a océanos lejanos para disfrutar de esta disciplina. En nuestras costas (Galicia) disponemos de una biodiversidad de ictiofauna más que suficiente para tenernos entretenidos. Galicia y el equipo de Ecoloxía Azul tienen la suerte de contar con un verdadero ictiologo de referencia internacional como es Rafael Bañón. Doctor en biología marina especializado en taxonomía lleva toda su carrera zctualizando y completando el trabajo iniciado por el ilustrado José Andrés Cornide de Folgueira y Saavedra (1734-1803) con su obra más valiosa Historia natural de los peces y otras especies marinas de Galicia (1788).

El listado de la ictiofauna gallega ha sido actualizado en varias ocasiones desde el trabajo primigenio de Cornide de Saavedra. Pero, no es hasta los años 80 que se realiza un inventario exhaustivo de la ictiofauna marina de Galicia (Solórzano et al. 1988) cuantificando las especies conocidas en 296. Ya en el 2010, el propio Rafael Bañón incrementó el número de especies de peces registradas en aguas de Galicia a un total de de 397 especies (Bañón et al. 2010). Más recientemente, en el Inventario de la biodiversidad marina de Galicia (fruto del proyecto LEMGAL; Bañón et al. 2017), el número subió hasta la 450 especies de peces divididos en 4 clases: 1 cefalaspidomorfo, 64 elasmobranquios, 4 holocéfalos y 381 actinopterigios. Pero el listado sigue aumentando año tras año (Bañón et al. 2018a, Bañón et al 2018b). Incorporando incluso familias de elasmobranquios antes no citadas en Galicia además de corregir y/o actualizar clasificaciones taxonómicas erróneas (Bañón et al. 2017, Mucientes and Maño 2018a, Mucientes and Maño 2018b).

Es nuestra intención mantener actualizado este listado con los hallazgos más recientes. A medida que vayan apareciendo, serán incorporados al presente listado aquellos registros que hayan sido convenientemente confirmados. El presente checklist contiene un total de 453 especies.

Todas las fotos de este listado fueron realizadas por algún miembro del equipo de Ecoloxía Azul o colaboradores.
