“…In the present study, specimens of Hemiramphus were also collected from the Thoothukudi coast, Tamil Nadu and all the specimens were identified and confirmed either H. far or H. lutkei. Similarly, H. lutkei was reported from West Bengal (Yennawar et al 2017), Andhra Pradesh (Barman et al 2004), Tamil Nadu (Barman et al 2011), Sri Lanka (Collette 1984), and Andaman and Nicobar Islands (Rajan et al 2013) in the Bay of Bengal whereas H. far was reported from the entire east coast of India (Yennawar et al 2017;Barman et al 2004Barman et al , 2007Barman et al , 2011, Sri Lanka (Collette 1984), and Andaman and Nicobar Islands (Rajan et al 2013). The members of the genus Hemiramphus enjoy a wide distribution both in east and west coast of India.…”

First Report Confirming the Occurrence of Jumping Halfbeak Hemiramphus archipelagicus Collette and Parin 1978 (Beloniformes: Hemiramphidae) from the Western Bay of Bengal

The Jumping halfbeak, Hemiramphus archipelagicus Collette and Parin 1978, has been previously reported from the west coast of India (Arabian Sea). During a taxonomic study on Hemiramphidae, eight specimens of H. archipelagicus, collected from the coastal water of Odisha, east coast of India, were examined. The species is characterized by 13-14 dorsal-fin rays, 9-12 anal-fin rays, 11-12 pectoral-fin rays, 6 pelvic-fin rays, 25-28 gillrakers on first gill arch and 36-41 pre-dorsal scales, body width less than the depth (62.1-62.3% in body depth), pectoral-fin short (17.2-18.4% in SL) not reaching anterior margin of nasal pit when folded forward, dorsal fin without well-developed anterior lobe and absence of vertical bars on the sides of body. This is the first report confirming the occurrence of H. archipelagicus from the east coast of India (western Bay of Bengal) suggesting that this species is widely distributed throughout the Indian coast.

“…The literature on Indian Ariommatids is restricted to Ariomma indicum (Day, 1871). This species has been recorded almost all along the Indian coast (Barman et al 2000;Barman et al 2004;Barman et al 2007;Barman et al 2011;Barman et al 2012;Rajan et al 2013;Barman et al 2013;Bijukumar and Raghavan 2015;Yennawar et al 2017). The present study reported the first record of the species small eye ariomma, Ariomma brevimanum, from Indian waters.…”

Nine specimens (584-670 mm standard length) of Ariomma brevimanum (Klunzinger 1884) were collected from the Cochin Fishing Harbour (south-eastern Arabian Sea) in 2016. Morphometric and meristic parameters, along with the DNA barcoding confirmed the identity of the specimens. The majority of the proportional morphometric measurement and meristic counts were concurrent with the previous description of A. brevimanus: body elongated (depth at first dorsal and second dorsal fin origin was about 22.8-25.2% and 22.0-22.7% of the standard length respectively); first dorsal fin with XI spine and second dorsal fin with I spine and 15 rays; anal fin with II spine and 15 rays; pectoral fin with 22-24 rays; scales large, cycloid, thin and deciduous; lateral line with 52-55 pored scales; pre-dorsal scale patch extending to about the hind margin of the eye; pre-opercular margin angular; horizontal eye diameter 18-22% of head length; gill rakers, 30-32 on first gill arch. In the present study, the partial sequences of the mitochondrial COI gene of A. brevimanum were generated. The analysis using the sequences of the COI gene produced a phylogenetic tree considering the maximum likelihood tree showed distinct clustering among species of Ariomma and revealed an identical phylogenetic relationship. The present study represents the first record for Indian waters, as well as the southeastern Arabian Sea record of this species.

“…Pterois is a genus of turkeyfishes under Scorpaenidae, represented by 12 valid species globally [5,6]. So far only five of the species have been recorded from the marine waters of India and only two of them, namely P. russelli Bennett, 1831 and P. volitans (Linnaeus, 1758) have been recorded from the coastal parts of West Bengal State [7,8]. From all the mangrove patches in India, Family Scorpaenidae is represented by only one species, Scorpaenodes guamensis (Quoy & Gaimard 1824) from Andaman & Nicobar Islands [9].…”

Plaintail turkeyfish, Pterois russelii Bennett, 1831 had been reported from coastal parts of West Bengal, but there is no record of this species from Sunderban Biosphere Reserve or any part of Indian mangrove ecosystems. The current communication adds P. russelii, as a new record to the ichthyofaunal diversity of the Indian Mangroves, as well as Sunderban Biosphere Reserve. The specimen was collected from the Canning fish landing area during a local survey focused on the study of mangrove-associated fishes of Sunderban. Canning is located in the Transitional zone of Sunderban Biosphere Reserve. This is the first record of P. russelii from any Indian Mangrove area.
