Abstract

The present paper reports the first record of one antennarid species from the Gulf of Oman and the second record of another frogfish from the Arabian Sea coasts of Oman. The record of Antennarius coccineus is a north-eastern extension of its distribution in Omani waters. Antennarius indicus was recorded for the second time from the Arabian Sea coasts of Oman.
