Abstract

Kalpakkam coast is an important strategic region reflecting the general diversity of Tamil Nadu (TN) coastal waters. In a recent inventory of fish survey conducted along this coast, we discovered 316 coastal fishes, of which >150 are reef fishes. The present paper describes the report of eleven reef-associated fishes new to the TN coast of Bay of Bengal viz. Torpedo sinuspersici Olfers, Himantura gerrardi (Gray), Gymnothorax meleagris (Shaw), Scorpaenodes guamensis (Quoy & Gaimard), Seriola rivoliana Valenciennes, Caesio cuning (Bloch), Nemipterus zysron (Bleeker), Parascolopsis eriomma (Jordan & Richardson), Abudefduf sordidus (Forsskal), Istiblennius edentulus (Forster & Schneider) and Canthigaster solandri (Richardson); out of which four (Gymnothorax meleagris (Shaw), Abudefduf sordidus (Forsskal), Istiblennius edentulus (Forster & Schneider) and Canthigaster solandri (Richardson)) are new to the Bay of Bengal coast of Indian mainland.
