contents An updated checklist of fishes of Dongsha Island, Taiwan, northern South China Sea. Ng, Shing-Lai Liu, Hsin-Wei Mediodia, Dominique P Lin, Yen-Ting Lee, Chieh-Hsuan Lin, Ching-Feng Huang, Shih-Pin Wu, Siao-Man Tung, Chih-Ren Ho, Hsuan-Ching Lin, Chien-Hsiang Dongsha Island, situated in the northern part of the South China Sea, is surrounded by coral reefs and deep-sea habitats. The coastal areas of the atoll, a marine protected area, serve as important nursery habitats for many reef fish species. At the same time, the offshore deep-sea continental slopes are historically important fishing grounds. Although previous inventories primarily focused on coral reef fishes within the atoll listing 652 species from 73 families, comprehensive surveys of fishes from deeper waters have been incomplete. In this study, the species composition of the fish fauna around Dongsha was updated by analyzing large volumes of frozen bycatch from commercial deep-sea trawlers operating in the area for the past four years and reviewing the existing literature. The species list increased to 1087 species belonging to 167 families, including several documented as new records and potentially undescribed species. This updated checklist also includes images of each species and most of their sagittal otoliths. This will assist further taxonomic work and significantly enhance understanding of marine biodiversity in the South China Sea.
