Description Not Available
An abnormal specimen of the bannerfish,
Heniochus acuminatus was observed from Pamban
Therkuvady Fish Landing Centre during the last
week of November, 2009.
It is understood that it was caught from the coral
reef areas of Gulf of Mannar by trawlnet operated at
around 40 m depth. Normally, in Heniochus
acuminatus, only the fourth dorsal spine and
attached membrane is greatly prolonged into a
pennant-shaped appendage. But in this specimen,
in addition to this, one more elongated spine with
attached membrane is noticed adjacent to the
former. The present specimen has a total length of
19.5 cm, and weighs 200 g.
