Dear Experts,
I have collected this fishes from trawl catch of Visakhapatnam fishing harbour I think one is Scorapaenid family and other one is which family I could not identified. If you possible kindly identified species level in both species.
Regards,
K. Silambarasan
Armored searobin (Peristediidae) and maybe eel goby (Amblyopinae), although the latter is a wild guess. I don't have field guides for those waters but I can send to a colleague who has worked there. Will update this later...
UPDATE: The bottom one is a bandfish, Acanthocepola indica. Compare to pics here: http://www.fishbase.de/summary/9216
