Subject Fish Taxonomy
 
Description A total of 16 species of the family Leiognathidae have been collected from the commercial
landings from Cochin and Neendakara on the western coast of India from 1998–2000. Detailed
morphometric data have been collected and all 16 species are redescribed with live color
photographs here. Various relationships in the morphometric characteristics have been studied
and regression equations fitted to enable comparison of the populations of these species from
Kerala with those from other regions. Of the 16 species collected and described in the present
work, five species, Nuchequula nuchalis, Equulites absconditus, Equulites leuciscus,
Aurigequula longispina, and Gazza achlamys, are reported for the first time from the entire
western coast of India.
