The occurrence of the red mullet (Goatfish) Upeneus luzonius Jordan and Seale, in the Indian Seas

Abstract

During my studies on the taxonomy and biology of goatfishes some specimens of Upeneus luzonius Jordan and Seale (1907) hitherto unreported from Indian waters have been collected from the Palk Bay and Gulf of Mannar near Mandapam. This species has been previously reported from Philippines (Jordan and Seale 1907, Herre and Montalban 1928, and Fowler 1933), Borneo (Seale 1910, Herre and Montalban 1908 and Fowler 1933) and Singapore (Herre and Myera 1937)
