Abstrakt: The present study reports the first record of Sillago indica from the Iranian coast of the Oman Sea. Sixteen specimens were collected with beach seine during sampling in Chabahar Bay. The obtained detailed information on the morphometric and meristic characters is compared with previous records of S. indica. Morphological characters matched the previous description of this species. Molecular confirmation of the species identification was carried out using the partial mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene (COI). Genetic results revealed a 0.181-0.231 K2P distance with other sillaginid species. The identified haplotypes were identical with conspecific haplotypes in GenBank. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
