BEAREZ, Philippe; TREVINO, Hugo  y  ZAMBRANO, Martín. First record of Rhynchoconger nitens (Jordan & Bollman 1890) (Teleostei: Congridae) from off southern Peru. A case of larval dispersal in relation with El Niño?. Rev. biol. mar. oceanogr. [online]. 2002, vol.37, n.1, pp. 9-13. ISSN 0718-1957.  doi: 10.4067/S0718-19572002000100003.

A specimen of Rhyncoconger nitens, a small congrid, is recorded for the first time from Ilo (Moquegua, Peru). To explain its presence at 18° of south latitude, a hypothesis of larval migration during an El Niño is proposed
