Abstract

Three species of deep water angler fishes; Diceratias trilobus (Ceratioidei: Diceratiidae), Bufoceratias shaoi (Ceratioidei: Diceratiidae), and Ceratias uranoscopus (Ceratioidei: Ceratiidae) are presented here as new findings from Northern Indian Ocean. Specimens of diceratiids are rare, the present specimen of B. shaoi represents the fifth known specimen in the world, and similarly C. uranoscopus is the second known record from the Indian Ocean. The knowledge on the distribution and biology of Ceratioid fishes is still very poorly known from the Indian Ocean. Along with the diagnostic characters, previous distributional records from the Indian Ocean are also provided.
