Abstract

An exploratory deepwater fisheries resource survey reveals that a previously unreported species of Genus Harpadon occurs in the Northern Arabian Sea of Indian EEZ off Veraval at 275 – 310 m depths from where it was caught in EXPO trawl net. This species differs from H. nehereus, the only reported species in the Northern Arabian Sea, by its distinctively small size (220 mm) and very short pectorals (9.4 -11.1 % SL). DNA barcoding (sequencing of ca.650 bp region of mitochondrial gene cytochrome oxidase subunit I) and phylogenetic analysis strongly suggested the same as a newly recorded Harpadon spp. other than H. nehereus.
