First record of golden trevally <i>Gnathanodon speciosus</i> (Carangidae: Caranginae) from Sundarbans, India
The golden trevally, Gnathanodon speciosus (Forsskål 1775), is recorded for the first time from the Indian Sundarbans, based on two specimens (118.7-133.4 mm standard length; SL). This species is identified by its papillose lips and distinctive golden-yellow colouration with alternating black bands. The inclusion of this species adds to the known ichthyofaunal diversity of the Indian Sundarbans.
