Abstract

This is the first record of Grammonus robustus from Indian waters. Five specimens measuring 132–233 mm standard length were collected from the by-catch landed by a deep sea trawler from waters 150 to 200 m deep off the Tuticorin coast in the Gulf of Mannar. The detailed morphometric and meristic characters are compared to known G. robustus material.
