Abstract
The saddleback syndrome is recorded for the second time in a wild fish population of the Arabian Sea coasts of Oman. The deformed specimens of Pampus argenteus present a typical saddleback phenotype of missing dorsal fin pterygiophores. The possible causative agents of the saddleback syndrome in fishes are discussed.
