Abstract

Four cardinalfish species of the family Apogonidae are found to occur for the first time from the Odisha coast, Bay of Bengal. The species Archamia bleekeri (Günther, 1859), Jaydia smithi Kotthaus, 1970, Jaydia striata (Smith & Radcliffe, 1912), and Lepidamia kalosoma (Bleeker, 1852) were collected from different fish landing centres of the Odisha coast. This paper documents reported species as new distributional records for the coastal waters of Odisha.
