The first check-list of soft-bottom fishes from the continental shelf off Jalisco and Colima, Mexico, is presented. The list includes 140 species, belonging to 98 genera and 54 families, collected with shrimp trawl nets aboard the research vessel BIP-V during May and June 1995 along 111 km, at 20, 40, 60 and 80 m depth. The specimens were cataloged and deposited in the ichthyological collection of the Centro de Ecología Costera of the Universidad de Guadalajara in San Patricia-Melaque, Jalisco, Mexico.
