Abstract
We document the first record of
the Scaleless Spiny Waspfish, Ablabys gymnothorax Chungthanawong & Motomura 2018 (Perciformes, Synanceiidae, Tetraroginae), from the east coast of Peninsular
Malaysia. This species was previously documented in Japan, Taiwan, and Vietnam.
Two specimens were collected with one was trawled from the South China Sea
Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) during a bottom trawl survey and the other was
collected at Kuantan fish landing port, Pahang. These findings not only
document the first country record but also suggest A. gymnothorax manifests a broader geographic distribution across the Indo-Pacific than
previously recognized. Diagnostic characters are provided for both documented
individuals, alongside detailed morphometric and meristic data.
Keywords: Distribution; marine fish; new
record; range extension; South China Sea
Abstrak
Kami mendokumenkan rekod pertama bagi Ikan Depu Berduri Tanpa Sisik, Ablabys gymnothorax Chungthanawong & Motomura 2018 (Perciformes, Synanceiidae, Tetraroginae) dari pantai timur Semenanjung Malaysia. Spesies ini sebelumnya didokumenkan di Jepun, Taiwan dan Vietnam. Dua spesimen telah diperoleh dengan satu dipukat dari Zon Ekonomi Eksklusif Laut China Selatan
(ZEE) semasa peninjauan pukat tunda dasar dan satu lagi diperoleh di pelabuhan pendaratan ikan yang terletak di Kuantan,
Pahang. Penemuan ini bukan sahaja mencatatkan rekod negara pertama tetapi juga menunjukkan A. gymnothorax mempunyai taburan geografi yang lebih luas di seluruh Indo-Pasifik berbanding rekod taburan terdahulu. Ciri diagnostik untuk kedua-dua individu yang didokumenkan diberikan bersama dengan data morfometrik dan meristik yang terperinci.
Kata kunci: Ikan marin; Laut China Selatan; pelunjuran julat; rekod baharu; taburan
