Unusual landings (3.65 t) of the bluntnose lizardfish Trachinocephalus myops (Forster, 1801) was recorded at Chennai Fisheries Harbour in April 2007. This is the first record of T. myops in large numbers in the commercial landings at Chennai. Parameters of the length-weight relationship were derived as a = 0.0000076 and b = 3.047. The male-female sex ratio was 1.15: 1. Analysis of gut content showed that 21.2% of fishes had full and gorged stomach. The fish has a preference for fishes, followed by shrimps.
