    Abstract

    A specimen of Malacanthus latovittatus (Fig. 1) with standard length 330 mm and weighing 250 g was collected from the bycatch of a commercial trawler at Tuticorin fishing harbour during March 2010. The specimen was caught approximately 30 km east off Tuticorin, Gulf of Mannar at a depth ranging from 20 to 25 m. After detailed morphological examination, the specimen was photographed and fixed with 5% formalin. The morphometric measurements were taken to the nearest mm and the specimen was identified as M. latovittatus described in FAO (1984).
