Abstract

The information on anal fin deformity is scanty and there is a paucity of knowledge regarding the causes behind such anomaly. Although, some information on the pterygiophore deformity in fish is available, nothing is known about the complete absence of those structures. In the present study, a description of the case of absence of the pterygiophores supporting the anal fin in silver pomfrets, Pampus argenteus (Euphrasen, 1788) collected from the Omani coasts of the Arabian Gulf is given.
