摘要

This study documents the presence of Liriope tetraphylla from coastal waters of Ratnagiri, marking the first record of this species in the region. Monthly sampling was conducted from January 2025 to May 2025 in a motorised commercial trawl fishing boat along the Jaigad coast, at depth of 36 m. A total of 24 no. of individuals of Liriope tetraphylla were collected using a standard plankton net (60µ) towed from the fishing boat at constant speed of one knot. External morphological traits such as gonad structure and its placement on radial canals, umbrella diameter and tentacles surrounded with cnidocyst rings were analysed for identification purpose. Earlier this species was recorded for the first time in the year 1958 along the east coast of India. Present findings contribute to a clearer understanding of the species distribution and highlight the biodiversity significance of the South Konkan coast with implications for conservation and further taxonomic studies.
