Abstract
A check-list of fish species from Bahia de San Quintin, Baja California, Mexico, and its adjacent shallow coast (less than10 m depth) is presented. A total of 682 samplings were conducted between 1993 and 1995, with monthly efforts during 1994. A total of 90 species were identified, 9 of which were elasmobranchs, from 41 families. Sixty-nine species were collected from Bahia San Quintin and 71 from the coast; only 50 species were common to both environments. The best represented family was Embiotocidae, with 10 species, and the genus Sebastes showed the greatest number of species, with 5. The ichthyofauna of Bahia de San Quintin has never been studied in a systematic and integral manner, until now.
