Resumen
A total of 168 species of fishes were observed or collected with different methods during three cruises conducted at the Cape Verde Islands between 1996 and 1998. Eighteen of them were unknown until then from this archipelago and their distribution and collection data are given. Of particular interest are Pseudogramma bermudensis and Callionymus bairdi, both species only cited up to date for the tropical western Atlantic and the islands of Ascension (the first one) and St. Helena (the second one); a third species, Monopenchelys acuta, were also only cited for the western side of the Atlantic and Ascension, although this species presents a pantropical distribution model. Zoogeographically, the results presented here increase the number of guinean and tropical amphiatlantic species, wich are dominant at the Cape Verde Islands, but also the number of macaronesian species with the presence of Gymnothorax bacalladoi, Didogobius kochi and Symphurus insularis.
