Demersal teleosts recorded in the Azores archipelago (ICES subdivision 10a2), their assigned fish assemblage, relative abundance indices (% of the total abundance) and frequencies of occurrence (FO%) in the Azorean spring bottom longline surveys (1995–2018), and related fishery information (total landed and reference price for the period 1985–2017). Fish assemblage: S − shallow (0–200 m), I − intermediate (200–600 m), D − deep (600–1200 m). Species selected for detailed analysis are in bold.
