| Abstract | ||
| A total of (13) specimens of Acanthurus sohal were managed to be collected from Iraqi marine water during winter 2007 and 2008. Biometry characteristics were conducted including morphometric measurement total length, standard length and total weight ranging between 310-365 mm, 222-258 mm and 307.74- 670.42 g. respectively, and meristic characteristics which include number of fin spines and rays, where dorsal fin spines number were IX, and 29 - 31 rays, anal fin had III spines and 27 - 29 rays, pectoral fin had I spine and 14 rays, pelvic fin had I spine and 5 rays, and caudal fin had 14 rays. Total number of vertebrae were 22-23. Samples were classified as sohal surgeonfish Acanthurus sohal (Forsskål, 1775), some species were distributed in the Iraqi water, therefore occurrences of this species is new to Iraqi marine water. | ||
