Description A specimen of Malacanthus latovittatus (Fig. 1)
with standard length 330 mm and weighing 250 g
was collected from the bycatch of a commercial
trawler at Tuticorin fishing harbour during March
2010. The specimen was caught approximately 30
km east off Tuticorin, Gulf of Mannar at a depth
ranging from 20 to 25 m. After detailed
morphological examination, the specimen was
photographed and fixed with 5% formalin. The
morphometric measurements were taken to the
nearest mm and the specimen was identified as M.
