| Abstract: | Orange roughy Hoplostethus atlanticus juveniles <24 cm fork length (LF) (10–17 years old) were recorded for the first time in Chile, when 10 specimens were collected on the continental slope and seamount JF2 in Juan Fernandez Archipelago. The LF, total mass, anatomical and parasitological information are reported. Relevance to current life‐cycle hypotheses is discussed. |
