Abstract: 
According to the data recorded from Cadiz area located in the Mediterraneans (Cardenas. et al.,1997) the red cornet fish Fistularia petimba Lacepede,1803 is a large fish typically found along soft bottom coastal areas and usually at a depth of over 10m (Banon and Sande, 2008). Fistularia commersonii is often misidentified as Fistularia petimba Lacepede (Randall, 1992). Cornet fish distribute in the tropical waters of the Atlantic and Indo pacific. The north eastern limit of distribution is recognized in the Atlantic from Cape Blanc and Cape Verde Islands to Angola (Fritzsche, 1990). Besides, the geographic distribution ranges from tropical waters of the Atlantic to the Indian and pacific oceans (Banon and Sande, 2007).
