Abstract

A new record of the one stick sting fish Minous coccineus (Scorpaeniformes: Synanceiidae) was documented based on morphological traits and DNA barcoding. The species was acquired by the Department of Fisheries during the yearly survey of “RV Meen Sandhani” from the maritime area of Bangladesh's continental shelf in the Bay of Bengal from 2018 to 2019. The first record of Minous coccineus from Bangladeshi marine waters has been verified by DNA barcoding and morpho-meristic analysis.
