New Geographical Record of Spotfin Frogfish Antennatus Nummifer (Actinopterygii: Lophiiformes: Antennariidae) From the Coast of Northern Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh

“…However some 193 species of finfish have been incorporated in a pictorial catalogue (Singha et al 2019) which includes a single species of Frogfish, Antennarius hispidus (Bloch and Schneider, 1801). Another frogfish species, Batrachomoeus trispinosus (Günther, 1861), (Family: Batrachoididae, Order: Batrachoidiformes), has been reported from south-west coast of Bangladesh recently (Ahmed et al 2020). The present study provides occurrence and distribution record of Antennatus nummifer (Cuvier, 1817) in Bangladesh coast proposing a Bangla Name as 'Kalophonta Bengmach' based on a single specimen.…”
