Abstract
A female albino fanray specimen was collected by trawl from the southern Taiwan Strait on April 11, 2022. This unique individual was identified as the Chinese fanray, Platyrhina sinensis (Bloch & Schneider, 1801), based on morphological identification and DNA barcoding. It was classified as partial albinism (leucism) due to the absence of pigmentation in the skin and normal pigmentation in the irises. This specimen represents the first reported case of albinism within the family Platyrhinidae, providing valuable insights for physiological and ecological research on albino fish.
