Range Extension of the Popeye Catalufa (<i>Pristigenys serrula</i>, Gilbert 1891) to Central Chile During the “El Niño” Southern Oscillation (<scp>ENSO</scp>) 2023–2024
We report the presence of <i>Pristigenys serrula</i> Gilbert 1891 off Zapallar (-32.568253, -71.464225), central Chile, during the ENSO 2023-2024 event. Morphology and a partial fragment of the mitochondrial markers cytochrome oxidase 1 (<i>COX</i>1) and <i>16S rDNA</i> identified one specimen fished by artisanal fishermen. This report extends the known southern range limit of <i>P. serrula</i> by 9° of latitude (~1000 km) to central Chile (-32°) during strong negative ENSO conditions.
