Hi

If you check www.fishbase.org you may find a few extra. There is an option to search by country, you will probably find other deep water species like shagreen ray that we never see...

FWIW
Kieran Hanrahan

Time spent fishing is never time wasted...

2015 targets - a triggerfish, a specimen bass, a three bearded rockling to complete the set and something big and toothy from certain north Mayo deep water marks
