Abstract

The ocellated shrimp goby, Tomiyamichthys russus was recorded from peninsular India based on a single specimen from Royapuram Fishing Harbour (13°07′24.49′′ N; 80°17′52.20′′E), Chennai, Southeast coast of India. The specimen was identified as the ocellated shrimp goby, T. russus by identification characteristics such as crosswise rows of small orange spots surrounded by minute dull black circles in the post-orbital and pre-dorsal region; posterior area of the gill membrane orange; operculum with pale violet traces. The morphometric characteristics were compared with the previous reports of ocellated shrimp goby. The present finding is the documentation of rare ocellated shrimp goby from the peninsular Indian coast.
