Abstract

Coringa Wildlife Sanctuary is one of the unique ecosystems in the State of Andhra Pradesh which is endowed with a complex of riverine, estuarine, mangrove, coastal and marine ecosystems with an area cover of 235.70 sq. km.  During the faunal surveys in the mangrove forests of the sanctuary, two species of gobiid fishes viz., Eugnathogobius kabilia and Pseudogobius fulvicaudus were identified as new distributional record from the Indian Ocean. Pseudogobius fulvicaudus which had morphological similarity with P. javanicus was confirmed using molecular analysis.

Keywords
