Abstract

A malformation of the anal fin in longfin trevally, Carangoides armatus, is described and compared with normal specimens. The fish specimen is clearly shown anal fin deformity with missing of 3 spines and 6 rays. The remaining eleven anal fin rays are shorter than those in the normal specimen. The causative factors of this anomaly were discussed.
