| Abstract: | During sampling for spawning stock of the silver pomfret, Pampus argenteus in Kuwait waters, a few seriously deformed individuals were captured. These individuals had been attacked and wounded, but
had healed and survived. The fish body deformities are believed to be caused by predation attempts on silver pomfret by predators
such as sharks, groupers, and croakers. |
