blue mackerel, </span> <i> <span style="font-size:12px;">Scomber australasicus </span> </i> <span style="font-size:12px;">,
was recorded during monthly survey on the availability of coastal and marine
fish in Bangladesh. The specimen was captured from the Bay of Bengal by
operating commercial gill net. This historic occurrence represents the first
record of blue mackerel in the Bay of Bengal. The species was previously
reported from the nearest Vizhinjam Coast of Laccadive Sea in India. The report
of </span> <i> <span style="font-size:12px;">S. australasicus </span> </i> <span style="font-size:12px;"> in the area
further enriches the ichthyofauna of the area and points to the need for
further detailed studies for conservation initiatives with respect to such rare
fishes. </span> </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={4}
