Abstract
Not AvailableThe taxonomy of deep-sea fishes of India was pioneered by the
outstanding works of A.W. Alcock, based on the samples collected
during the voyage of the Indian marine survey steamer,
HMS ‘Investigator’. Alcock’s publications (1889–1907) are
the major detailed work on the deep-sea fauna of Indian
waters. Recent studies on deep-sea fishes from the Indian
exclusive economic zone has resulted in the description of
many new species and new records from Indian waters
