A puffer fish, Lagocephalus guentheri Miranda Riberio, 1915, is recorded for the first time from the west coast of India. Three individuals were collected from three different states, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Kerala, with other materials. Brief notes on diagnostic characters of the species and distinction between all species of the genus Lagocephalus in form of a working key to species is presented in this paper.Keywords

The present paper reports the occurrence of Gerres infasciatus (Perciformes: Gerreidae), the third species in the “G. filamentosus” complex, for the first time from coastal waters of Andhra Pradesh, Odisha and West Bengal states of India, Bay of Bengal. From India, this species was earlier known only from Chennai, Tamil Nadu. Their relationship within the complex is also discussed for correct identification.Keywords

The present work forms the preliminary study of ecosystem of Bichitrapur in Balasore district, though it covers a small area. A total 56 species of estuarine animals are found in the locality. They are normally mangrove associate animals, found in and over mangrove plants as borers or non-borers. These animals are either harmful to mangrove plants or opportunists by depending on mangroves for shelter or feeding. The dominating group in this mangrove is found to be the Molluscs, comprising 8 species of borers of mangrove-wood and 19 species as opportunistic epi-fauna. Crustaceans are the second diverse group in this ecosystem, represented by 13 species of crabs, 6 species of boring Isopods and a single species of Amphipod. The other epifaunal components comprise a few species of Cnidaria, Polychaetea, Echinoderm and some fishes, which are found on 7 species of mangrove plants in this ecosystem. But they seem to be non-specific to any mangrove plant species. An in-depth study of these faunal components in ecological viewpoints may provide pathway towards conservation and management of the mangrove ecosystems.Keywords

The rare Ocean sunfish, Mola mola (Linnaeus 1758), is reported herewith first time from West Bengal coast of India based on two specimens collected from Digha Mohona (21°37.843'N, 87°32.827'E) by using trawl nets. This forms the second sunfish species from this coast after Ranzania laevis was recorded 18 years back. Past records of this species in Indian waters also discussed.Keywords

Occurrence of Butis koilomatodon (Bleeker, 1849) (Gobiiformes: Eleotridae) is reported for the first time from West Bengal, India based on two specimens collected from Sankarpur fishing harbour. Systematic account of the species is provided for distinction. Only eight species in the family Eleotridae were known from West Bengal earlier and the present report adds one more to the list.Keywords

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
