Abstract

In the summer period of 2009, two species of warm-water fish—Japanese cutlass fish Trichiurus japonicus and frigate mackerel Auxis thazard—were found in Peter the Great Bay. Their description is made, and their main diagnostic characters are provided. It was established that both species of the genus Auxis are found in Russian waters of Far Eastern seas.
