The coastal waters of Angola support a rich and diverse fauna. However, the ichthyofauna of the region is poorly known; the only fish species studied in detail are those with commercial importance. The main objective of the present study is to report the presence of several fish species for the first time from the coast of Angola. The records were made during a survey in the coastal area of Luanda Island. Species were identified based on photographs taken during SCUBA diving surveys. In the present study, we report for the first time the occurrence of seven fish species in the Angolan region, belonging to six families: Pomacanthidae (Guinean angelfish Holacanthus africanus), Pomacentridae (African sergeant Abudefduf hoefleri), Labridae (Guinean rainbow wrasse Coris atlantica and Newton’s wrasse Thalassoma newtoni), Scaridae (Guinean parrotfish Scarus hoefleri), Blenniidae (oyster blenny Hypleurochilus aequipinnis), and Tetraodontidae (sharpnose-puffer Canthigaster capistrata). These records from Luanda Island are the southernmost known for the species reported here.

安哥拉的沿海水域拥有丰富多样的动物群。然而，该地区的鱼腥鱼鲜为人知。唯一经过详细研究的鱼类是具有商业重要性的鱼类。本研究的主要目的是首次报告来自安哥拉海岸的几种鱼类的存在。记录是在罗安达岛沿海地区进行的一次调查中记录的。根据在SCUBA潜水调查中拍摄的照片识别物种。在本研究中，我们首次报告了安哥拉地区七种鱼类的出现，它们属于六个科：Pomacanthidae（几内亚神仙鱼Holacanthus africanus），Pomacentridae（非洲中士Abudefduf hoefleri），Labridae（几内亚彩虹濑鱼）Coris atlantica和Newton的濑鱼Thalassoma newtoni），Scaridae（几内亚鹦嘴鱼Scarus hoefleri），Blenniidae（牡蛎粘鱼Hypleurochilus aequipinnis）和Tetraodontidae（沙丁鱼-河豚Canthigaster capistrata）。罗安达岛的这些记录是此处报告的最南端的物种。
