Open circles: no Corypliaenoides carapinus; small dots: 9 C. carapinus per hour. the relation between gonadal weight and total weight of the fish. The most obviously ripe speci- mens were taken in November, when the slope of the gonad weight/total weight relation was greatest. By February-March relative weight of the gonad was reduced to the lowest values observed. 120 ⢠Feb-March 100 X July , 1 » Nov. * 80 â â \ 11 60 A ti i it 1 11 40 : ) 1 20 - 1200 KOO 1600 1800 2000 2200 2400 2600 DEPTH,m Figure 2.

Weights in July were intermediate. Coryphae- noides carapinus is a winter spawner. Co-occurring species.âA number of other spe- cies were commonly taken in the same trawls which took Corypliaenoides carapinus. These include the fishes Antiinora rostrata, Alepocephalus agassizi, Halosauropsis macrochir, and Bathy- saurus agassizi, the ophiuroids Ophiomusium lyinani and Ophiura Ijungmani, the asteroids Zoro- aster fulgens, Benthopecten spinosus, and Pectin- aster forcipatus, the holothurian Paelopatides gigantea, and echinoids, genus Echinus. Prelimi- nary analyses of our deeper trawls, following the philosophy and approach of our shallower work (Haedrich, Rowe, and Polloni, 1975), suggest that this assemblage of species is characteristic of a zone associated with the base of the continental slope and the upper continental rise. Helminth parasites found in Corphaenoides carapinus include the digenetic trematodes Glomericinus n. sp., Gonocera (probably phy- cidis), and an unidentified zoogonid, the trypano- rhynch Grillotia (Paragrillotia) n. sp., and unidentified nematodes. The Glomericirrus and Grillotia, found for the first time in this material,
