Abstract

In the Hadhramout coast, the Gulf of Aden, six substantiated records fish species were recorded for first time. Review of all previous studies and publications show that these species from different families were not previously reported in the Gulf of Aden. The species identified include Parascolopsis eriomma (Nemipteridae), Kyphosus vaigiensis (Kyphosidae), Sargocentron rubrum (Holocentridae), Coryphaena equiselis (Coryphaenidae), Argyrosomus japonicus (Sciaenidae) and Scarus nigar (Scaridae). This paper describes the detailed characteristics of each species.
