The epidermal mucus of fish contains various bioactive compounds, which play a crucial role in the animal defense mechanisms. However, from giant mudskipper is not well characterized for its biochemical and pharmacological effects. This study first time analyzed extracts this species antimicrobial (against human pathogen) hemolytic activities. Fourier-transform infrared spectrum analysis (FT-IR) SDS-PAGE were also carried out. protein content Periophthalmodon schlosseri (Gobiidae:...

Abstract The present research documents new distributional records of two gobioid fishes, Acentrogobius vanderloosi Allen, 2015 and Pseudogobius fulvicaudus Huang, Shao, Chen, 2014 from the southeastern coast India. Indian coastal waters provide suitable habitats for many fishes due to its varied ecosystems. confusion over identity a number in India suggests need more studies on these better understand their diversity, taxonomy, geographical distribution. record species expands known...

In October 2023, a single specimen of Oxymetopon compressus Chan, 1966 was retrieved from discarded catch at the Mudasal Odai fish landing center on southeast coast India. This study marks first record genus in Indian waters, accompanied by novel maximum length record. , closely resembles its congener, formosum Fourmanoir, 1967 having low supraorbital crest and head markings, but differs relatively higher number anal fin rays, 29 (vs. 27 O. ). The count (29) is found than curticauda...

The mudskipper Pseudapocryptes elongatus (Cuvier, 1816), (Gobiidae) are caught throughout the year and they considered as most edible species in Sundarbans. They targeted by special gears sold live large quantities local markets of Diamond Harbor, Namkhana Kakdweep. adult P. (14–18 cm total length) specimens were purchased from Harbor landing center for evaluation its biochemical components such Protein, carbohydrate, lipid, amino acid, fatty vitamin, minerals. percentage composition protein...

ABSTRACT The community structure of meiofauna was assessed relative to environmental parameters in four zones (non-mangrove, Avicennia zone, mixed and Rhizophora zone) Pichavaram Mangrove Forest, which is located along the southeast coast India. Field sampling carried out from June 2016–May 2017. meiofaunal data were evaluated using univariate multivariate statistics. highest abundance (434 ind/10 cm−2) recorded zone lowest (270 non-mangrove zone. A total 62 species representing groups...

Mudskippers are amphibious fishes that can voluntarily leave the water and spend a considerable amount of time on mudflats considered to have high ecological value in mudflat environment. The present study was conducted Cox’s Bazar coast identify mudskipper species. This also points out challenges field provides possible recommendations. mudskippers were collected from Rezu Khal, Inani, Patuartek, Imamer Dail, Monkhali, Shaplapur, Naf Jetty, Keari Ghat, Shaporir Dwip during December 2023...

Abstract The ocellated shrimp goby, Tomiyamichthys russus was recorded from peninsular India based on a single specimen Royapuram Fishing Harbour (13°07′24.49′′ N; 80°17′52.20′′E), Chennai, Southeast coast of India. identified as the T . by identification characteristics such crosswise rows small orange spots surrounded minute dull black circles in post-orbital and pre-dorsal region; posterior area gill membrane orange; operculum with pale violet traces. morphometric were compared previous...

Abstract The current study represents the first records of elusive cardinalfish, Apogon fugax Gon et al ., 2020 and twinbar Apogonichthyoides sialis (Jordan Thompson, 1914) from Gujarat coast, northwestern India. During February 2024, regular fishing surveys were conducted to document a bycatch species assemblage. In course this study, total three specimens A. single specimen procured Veraval Fishing Harbour, Gujarat, is reported for time Indian waters, while recorded Herein, detailed...

Oxuderces dentatus and Scartelaos histophorus species were collected seasonally from the Dhamara estuary (Odhisa, India) using scoop nets, cast nets as well by hand for a period of 1 year (January 2015–December 2015). Length–weight relationships estimated. Total lengths (TL) O. ranged 42 to 80 mm, 58 122 mm S. histophorus. Similarly, total weights 2.5–10.7 g 7.7–26.5 g, respectively. The ‘b’ values estimated (2.718) (2.689) below 3. condition factors minimum in summer maximum post-monsoon.

The length–weight relationships (LWR) of males and females Periophthalmus novemradiatus Boleophthalmus boddarti were estimated in the present study. Specimens collected during March-2014 February-2015 using scoop net, cast net hand picking from Vellar estuary, Southeast coast India. results this study will contribute to knowledge mudskippers biology serve as valuable baseline information.
