Description The north-west coast of India in general and the Mumbai coast in particular is known for Bombay duck (familySynodontidae) fishery. Till date, only one species namely Harpadon nehereus (Hamilton, 1822) was recordedin this region. Here, we report two additional species of genus Harpadon Lesueur, 1825, which differsignificantly from the usual H. nehereus, landed in the dol net fishery along north-west coast of India. Detailedtaxonomy of the species along with illustrated description have been worked out for Harpadon nudus sp. nov.(Ganga, Thomas and Sukumaran, 2015) and Harpadon translucens (Saville-Kent, 1889).
