Abstract
Researchers at the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute have scientifically described two new species of needlefish from Indian waters. They found that the previously identified flat needlefish (Ablennes hians) is a complex of at least three distinct species. Genetic and molecular analysis and taxonomic examination confirmed that these newly identified species have unique characteristics. The new fishes have been named Ablennes joseberchmansis, after the alma mater - St. Berchman’s College, of the CMFRI researcher Toji Thomas and his teacher, and Ablennes gracalii, after the researcher’s mother Grace and his friend Alina. The research was carried out under the guidance of E. M. Abdussamad, principal scientist.
