Abstract

Deep sea snake fishes are common in the coastal waters of the eastern
Atlantic, and widespread but rare in the central Indo-Pacific (Smith, 1949).
Few of these have been recorded from Indian waters (Day, 1889). Mukkaram

(Cuvier)] measuring 95 mm total length (Regional centre of C.M.F.R. Institute,
