First record of the Rubicundus Eel goby, Odontamblyopus rubicundus (Hamilton, 1822) (Perciformes: Gobiidae) from the Gulf of Khambhat, Gujarat, India
Three individuals of Rubicundus Eel Goby fish, Odontamblyopus rubicundus (Hamilton 1822) were reported for the first time from various coasts of the Gulf of Khambhat (Cambay), west coast of India during November 2021-January 2022. Meristic characters, morphometric measurements, and radiographs were recorded for the identification of specimens. The present paper validates the first report of O. rubicundus Hamilton 1822from the Gulf of Khambhat, Saurashtra coast of Gujarat. The specimens are stored in a repository with a specific voucher number at the Department of Marine Science, Maharaja Krishnakumarsinhji Bhavnagar University, Bhavnagar. The current locations of these findings represent the northernmost record on the western coast of India.
