Abstract
The occurrence of Liza ramada (Risso 1810) is confirmed for the Azores. The specimen was collected in 1971 at 20 m depth, during the BIAÇORES cruise and is an 8+ year old male with a total length of 531 mm. The additional observation of juvenile specimens collected in 1990 in Santa Maria Island has not only reconfirmed the presence of this species in this archipelago, but also indicated successful reproduction in those waters.
