Abstract

In the present study, 15 new records from Kavaratti Atoll are added to the ichthyofaunal diversity of the Lakshadweep Archipelago and six to the Indian fish fauna based on underwater photographs and videos. Fishes were recorded from both lagoon and forereef areas off Kavaratti. The new records include Cirripectes auritus (Blackflap blenny), Cirripectes polyzona (Barred blenny), Ecsenius bicolor (Bicolor blenny), Glyptoparus delicatulus (Delicate blenny), Amblyeleotris wheeleri (Gorgeous prawn-goby), Eviota punyit (Punyit dwarfgoby), Eviota cf. teresae (Viridescent dwarfgoby), Cirrhitichthys falco (Dwarf hawkfish), Halichoeres leucoxanthus (Canarytop wrasse), Pseudocheilinus evanidus (Disappearing wrasse), Coris latifasciata (Broad banded wrasse), Pomacentrus xanthocercus (Yellowtail damsel), Plectroglyphidodon luteobrunneus (Indian gregory), Pomacentrus indicus (Indian damsel) and Synodus dermatogenys (Sand lizardfish). Six species, G. delicatulus, E. cf. teresae, E. punyit, P. xanthocercus, P. evanidus and C. latifasciata represent new records for Indian waters. The genus Amblyeleotris is recorded for the first time from Lakshadweep.

印度拉克沙德韦普 15 种珊瑚鱼的新地理记录

在本研究中，根据水下照片和视频，在拉克沙德韦普群岛的鱼类动物多样性中增加了 15 项来自卡瓦拉提环礁的新记录，在印度鱼类动物多样性中增加了 6 项新记录。记录的鱼类来自卡瓦拉提附近的泻湖和前礁地区。新记录包括 Cirripectes auritus（黑瓣金目鲷）、Cirripectes polyzona（条纹金目鲷）、Ecsenius bicolor（双色金目鲷）、Glyptoparus delicatulus（精致金目鲷）、Amblyeleotris wheeleri（华丽虾鰕虎鱼）、Eviota punyit（Punyit 矮鰕虎鱼）、Eviota cf.teresae (Viridescent dwarfgoby)、Cirrhitichthys falco (Dwarwar hawkffish)、Halichoeres leucoxanthus (Canarytop wrasse)、Pseudocheilinus evanidus (Disappearing wrasse)、Coris latifasciata (Broad banded wrasse)、Pomacentrus xanthocercus（黄尾大马哈鱼）、Plectroglyphidodon luteobrunneus（印度大马哈鱼）、Pomacentrus indicus（印度大马哈鱼）和 Synodus dermatogenys（沙蜥蜴）。G. delicatulus、E. cf. teresae、E. punyit、P. xanthocercus、P. evanidus 和 C. latifasciata 这六个物种是印度水域的新记录。Amblyeleotris 属是首次在拉克沙德韦普记录到。
