The Silver tripodfish, Triacanthus nieuhofii Bleeker, 1852, is reported for the first time from the West Bengal coast along the northern part of the Bay of Bengal, based on two specimens collected from Shankarpur fishing harbour and Digha Mohana, Digha, West Bengal, India. This species might co-exist in the entire Bay of Bengal coast and but often confused as Triacanthus biaculeatus due to very similar external morphology.
