Description 490-494
The present article discusses the morphological characteristics, meristics, distribution and systematics of two ornamental fish species Torquigener brevipinnis (Regan, 1903) (Family: Tetraodontidae) and Sufflamen fraenatum (Latreille, 1804) (Family: Balistidae) belonging to order Tetraodontiformes which were previously not observed from the coastal waters of Odisha state. These two species are mostly coral reef-associated fish species; thus, their occurrence along the Odisha coast is of great importance from a habitat point of view. The current study reports the distribution and their first occurrence in the coastal state of Odisha.
