Two species of fishes belonging to the family Labridae, Halichoeres zeylonicus (Bennett, 1833) and Cheilinus chlorourus (Bloch, 1791), are reported for the first time from Digha coastal waters, Northern Bay of Bengal. Morphometric and meristic measurements were taken and the specimens were deposited in Museums of the ICAR-Central Institute of Fisheries Education, Kolkata Centre and Marine Fish Section, Zoological Survey of India, Kolkata. The present finding constitute occurrence and extension of the distributional range of these species to the north-eastern coast of India, earlier Indian records of which were confined to coral reef areas only.Keywords
