| Description |
Fishermen from Versova fishing village surprisingly caught a live Blue-ringed angel fish, Pomacanthus annularis (Bloch, 1787) in their trawl catch. The fish measured about 300 mm in total length and was in a very healthy condition. The fish was later taken to land and reared in a container containing seawater. On retrieving its health after a month the fish was released back to the sea. This gesture has contributed to the rehabilitation and conservation of such beautiful coral fish. |
