These were collected in a fyke net in the Gulf of St. Lawrence (eastern Canada).
These fish are roughly the same size, approximately 10cm long
Looks like a family CARANGIDAE member and the second one family PRIACANTHIDAE member. Dr Ronald Fricke is an expert and he is on researchgate

Second one may be Beryciform fish, please mention the depth of occurance
These were caught in the lower portion of an estuary and water depth would be
Tienes toda la razón Philip el B. splendens no tiene esa dorsal tan larga, tal vez como un ejemplar de la familia Holocentridae. En la fotografía parece que el preopérculo tiene una espina????
Difficult to see on the photographs, but the second is certainly not Beryx splendens (which has a much shorter dorsal fin), but Heteropriacanthus cruentatus (family PRIACANTHIDAE).
The first photograph shows a young carangid, maybe Seriola dumerilii.
About first photo I should say that it's absolutely a Carangid fish but about its genus and species's name, I think it 's a member of Caranx genus like Caranx crysos or Caranx hippos.

Good luck

En efecto, la observación del Dr. Fricke es la correcta se trata de un Priacanthidae. En cuanto a la especie, encontrada tan al norte del Atlántico,parece indicar que se trata de una primera cita.
I agree with Dr. Fricke, Heteropriacanthus cruentatus, The first one is a Carangidae and probably a Caranx bartholomaei.
