Resum

One specimen of the Torroto grunt, Genyatremus cavifrons (Cuvier, 1830), was caught at the southeastern coast of Gran Canaria Island, Canary Islands, northeastern At- lantic ocean. This is a Western Atlantic species, distributed in the southern Lesser Antilles and northern coast of South America, from eastern Colombia to Brazil. The most plausi- ble hypothesis to explain this occurrence is the introduction through shipping, particularly of oil rigs.
