Abstract
Two specimens of Rhinoceros Leatherjacket, P. nasicornis were observed and collected from Vizhinjam fishing harbor, Arabian sea caught by the commercial fishing trawler. The presence of bigger blotch over the caudal fin region; presence of two brown stripes on lateral sides of body and long slender horn like dorsal-fin spine located in front of the eyes identified these specimens as Pseudalutarius nasicornis. Our present finding can be used as an extended distributional record of P. nasicornis in Arabian coastal region.
