Abstract
Detailed morphological information is provided for the Squaretail Mullet Ellochelon vaigiensis (Quoy and Gaimard 1825) from the Iranian waters of the Persian Gulf. The general morphology, saccular otolith, the urohyal bone morphology, and the scale morphology were described for this species. Approximately 21 years ago, the occurrence of E. vaigiensis was reported from the coastal waters of the Hormuzgan Province in the Persian Gulf (Southern Iran), based on only a single specimen, and since that only a few studies have addressed its occurrence from this region. Re-detection of E. vaigiensis in this study provided detailed data on its morphological characteristics from this region.
