Title

Range extension of round scorpionfish Neomerinthe erostris (Alcock, 1896) into waters of Pakistan (northern Arabian Sea)

Abstract

Round scorpionfish Neomerinthe erostris (Scorpaenidae) was originally described from off southern Sri Lanka. Later on, this species was recorded from Indo-West Pacific mostly in southern oceans except in Taiwan, however, it is not known to be occurring in the Arabian Sea. The specimens from Pakistan were caught at a depth of 130 m southwest of Karachi, Arabian Sea on 22 January 2022. Present paper extends the distribution to this species to further North along the cost of Pakistan in the Arabian Sea.
