Abstract
To date only four specimens of Chaceon
gordonae from Sierra Leone (West Africa) and one specimen of C.
sanctaehelenae from Saint Helena Island (central south
Atlantic are known from the eastern Atlantic Ocean. Recently both
these species were recorded off São Tomé island, off
the central west coast of Africa and found to sustain a small
artisanal trap fishery.
