Abstract
    Studies of recent bathyal collections mainly made during MUSORSTOM cruises have shown an extremely diverse grenadier fauna in the New Caledonian region. A total of 939 grenadier specimens (families Bathygadidae and Macrouridae) representing 49 species in 16 genera were collected from 102 samples taken from depths between 395 and 2105 m (lid-depth sounding). of the 49 species, 15 (31%) were found to be new (one recently described) and two are treated as intermediate. The collections were dominated by the genera Caelorinchus (14 spp.,5 new), Ventrifossa (7 spp., 2 new, but one not names), Hymenocephalus (sensu lato)(7 spp.,2 new), and Nezumia (5 spp.,3 new). This paper reports the taxonomic findings on the collections. A subsequent paper will report on aspects of the distribution and biology of grenadiers in the New Caledonian region.
