Title New record of Bombay duck from Veravel
 
Creator CMFRI, Kochi
 
Subject New record
Bombay duck
 
Description An exploratory deepwater fisheries
resource survey reveals that a
previously unreported species of Genus
Harpadon occurs in the Northern
Arabian Sea of Indian EEZ off Veraval at
275 – 310 m depths from where it was
caught in EXPO trawl net. This species
differs from H. nehereus, the only
reported species in the Northern Arabian
Sea, by its distinctively small size (220
mm) and very short pectorals (9.4 -11.1
% SL). DNA barcoding (sequencing of
ca.650 bp region of mitochondrial gene
cytochrome oxidase subunit I) and
phylogenetic analysis strongly suggested
the same as a newly recorded Harpadon
spp. other than H. nehereus.
