Abstract
The paper presents the results of the sampling fishery carried out
during the Russian-Romanian survey between 15.02 and 11.03.1982, in
the area 40 degree 56'-53 degree 14'S/5 degree 26'W-15 degree 20'E.
That survey made evident 52 fauna elements belonging to groups PISCES
and CEPHALOPODA. For fishes, 42 species belonging to 18 families have
been identified during fihery, to which are to be added some
unidentified specimens belonging to Bothidae and Soleidae families, 
namely to 6 orders of Achinopterigii sub-class of Osteychthes class.
For cephalopods, 10 species belonging to seven families and 2 orders
have been identified. Besides the aspects regarding the fishery 
structure and productivity, this paper brings some new elements about
the biology of the most important meso-pelagic species of 
Gonostomatidae and Myctophidae of the region.
