Two individuals belonging to the species Mesoplodon densirostris (de Blainville, 1817) were sighted in the Indian waters during a marine mammal survey conducted on-board the vessel MFV Yellowfin associated with the Mormugao Zonal Base of the Fishery Survey of India. This survey was part of the project titled ‘Marine mammal stock assessment in India’. Among the sighted individuals, one was a female based on its morphological characters while the sex of the other was unknown. To the best of our knowledge, there are no previous sightings of this rare beaked whale from the Indian Exclusive Economic Zone.Keywords

The occurrence of sickle fin weasel shark Hemigaleus microstoma Bleeker, 1852 is reported here from Indian EEZ, off the Andaman Islands in the Bay of Bengal. Two specimens of total length (TL) 610 mm and 628 mm were caught by longline at depths 40-100 m. A detailed diagnostic description and morphometrics of H. microstoma and its comparison with previous literature is provided. COI DNA barcodes were generated for the collected specimens.Keywords
