Etroplus maculatus, commonly known as Orange
chromide is a euryhaline fish endemic to
brackishwater streams, lagoons, estuaries and the
lower reaches of rivers in peninsular India and Sri
Lanka. In India, it occurs in Maharashtra, Goa,
Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu. The Orange
chromide at present is mainly utilized as freshwater
and brackishwater ornamental fish as it is reported
to survive in water close to 21‰ salinity after
gradual acclimatization. The present study was
conducted to determine the salinity tolerance of E.
maculatus to know the scope of this species to be
selected as a marine ornamental fish.
