New record of the cutthroat eel, Meadia roseni (Actinopterygii: Anguilliformes: Synaphobranchidae), from Vietnam

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: A large individual of Meadia roseni Mok, Lee et Chang, 1991 is reported from central Vietnam for the first time, which also represents the first record outside the type locality, Taiwan. Herein we document the expansion of the distribution of this species, along with a detailed description and fresh color photos. The new finding may suggest that M. roseni has a broader distribution but somewhat restricted in the northern South China Sea.
