Abstract

The specimens were classified and identified as Kalinga ornata and deposited in the Marine Biodiversity Museumof the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, Kochi (Accession code: DB. 40.1.1.). Although sea slugs have been found inthese waters, there are limited studies on identification to the species level. Kalinga ornata was reported in India during 1936from Kolkata and further there are no published reports on occurrence of of this species along the east coast of India.Downloads
