| Abstract: | The present investigation provides information on the availability and distribution of Side-gilled slugs, Pleurobranchus mamillatus which were caught by trawl gears operated along the Tuticorin coast of South (8° 40' 782" N and 78°15' 469"E) India at a depth of around 15-20 m during 18 September 2013.The specimens were identified as Pleurobranchus mamillatus. This species has not been reported earlier and therefore considered as a new record to the inshore waters of Gulf of Mannar along Tuticorin coast. However, this species has been reported to be distributed New Guinea, New Caledonia, New South Wales, Australia, and possibly from the Great Barrier Reef and Southern Africa, Okinawa, Japan, Indonesia, Zanzibar, and Lakshadweep (India). A note on the morphological features of this specimen is detailed in this paper. |
