Description In Indian waters, genus Netuma is represented by two
species namely N. bilineata and N. thalassina (Order:
Siluriformes, Family: Ariidae). Rounded shout, thin lips,
inconspicuous median longitudinal groove, and higher
anal fin ray count (16-19) are characters of N. bilineata
while N. thalassina has conical snout, clearly visible median
longitudinal groove and lower anal fin ray count (13-15).
Prior to the erection of N. bilineata (earlier considered as
synonym of N. thalassina) as valid species, Indian workers
had difference of opinion regarding the representation
of species under this genus from Indian waters.
