Description On 4th October, 2013 there was an unusual
landing of needle fish, Ablennes hians (Valenciennes,
1846) by multiday purse seiners at Sassoon Dock
(Fig.1). Approximately 8 tonnes of needle fish were
landed by 16 purse seiners on the day. Such a heavy
catch of needle fish is a rare phenomenon at Mumbai
where these fish are landed only occasionally. These
fishes are reef associated and highly pelagic. By
observing the structural morphology of beak like
jaws and teeth it appears that they are highly
predaceous and feeds on smaller organisms.
