Abstract

Ambassidae fishes are endemic to the Indo-West Pacific region. This study presents the first record of Ambassis dussumieri Cuvier, 1828, from the mangroves of the Persian Gulf, southern Iran. The examined specimens were identified and described by morphomeristic characteristics in addition to DNA barcoding based on the mitochondrial COI gene. The present record of this species adds to our knowledge of the biodiversity of fishes in the Persian Gulf
