Abstract

Cuvier (1830) described Corvina carouna based on the specimens collected
by Mr. Dussumier from the Malabar coast. Later, Day (1878) and Weber
and de Beaufort (1936) synonymised it with Johinus carutta. Trewavas (1977)
has considered it to be the synonym of Corvina belangeri Cuvier 1830, a species
which has many common characters of Johnius carouna (Cuvier). But when
the type specimen of Corvina carouna Cuvier from Museum Nationale d' Histoire
Naturelle, Paris, was examined, it was found to be a valid species, occurring
commonly in the Cochin backwaters and estuaries
