Abstract
The present report describes the incidence of ambicolouration in the Malabar tonguesole, Cynoglossus macrostomus (Norman, 1928) collected at a depth of 20 m off Chapora, Goa, central west coast of India. The ambicolourate specimen was 130 mm in total length and appeared to be normal on the ocular side except ambicolouration (~65%) on the blind side of the body. Radiographs revealed no skeletal and scaling anomalies between normal and ambicolourate specimens.
