Abstract
The first record of Plectorhinchus playfairi from the Arabian Gulf coast of Saudi Arabia is reported based on one specimen (270 mm TL) collected from the waters around the coasts of Jubail City. This species has not been recorded from this area although it has been recorded recently from the Iraqi waters of the Arabian Gulf. This account represents a confirmation for the presence of P. playfairi in the Arabian Gulf area and first record for the Saudi Arabian waters of the gulf. Morphometric and meristic data are provided for specimen, comparing with published data.
