Abstract
From March 1951 through March 1953, I fished for the market in Puno tarenas and collected more than 500 fish specimens and 70 species for the Field Museum of Natural History. This paper concerns information on life histories, migrations, habits and ecology of marine fishes. Of particular interest are notes on blacktip, hammerhead and bonnethead sharks; sawfish, stingrays and mantas; sea catfishes, floating cIingfish, crevalle jack, corbina, sierra and Pacific bonito.References
