Description Sacura boulengeri (Heemstra, 1973) is a rare serranid fish (Subfamily: Anthiinae) having very distinct
distribution in the western Indian Ocean. The rarity of the species is evident from earlier reports and, so far, no related
studies on the species have been published except on taxonomy and distributional records. In the present investigation,
the length-weight relationship of Sacura boulengeri was estimated to be W = 0.0777 × L2.690 (with 95% confidence
intervals for b and r2). An analysis of the stomach contents revealed that sergestid shrimps and copepods were the major
food items of the diet.
