Description The starry handfish, Halieutaea stellata
(Val, 1797), belonging to the family
Ogcocephalidae is found on the
continental shelves
of the Indo-Pacific
oceans at depths of
between 50 and
400 m. This fish
was not reported
from Malabar
region earlier.
However, of late

were caught in
demersal trawling operations off-Calicut
on 19.1.2011.
