Update on 19/07/2016:

I sincerely want to thank each and every one of you for taking your time to share your knowledge with us. Today I got the below email from a Prinicpal Scientist, ICAR-Central Institute of Brackishwater Aquaculture, (Indian Council of Agricultural Research). I really feel happy to see such a great person came forward to share his knowledge with us and also mentioned that I can ask him any information related to fisheries. Thank you sir. Hats off to you!! The fish name that is shared by him is updated in this post now.

When I checked the List of Tamil Names of the Fishes in your website I found that it is blank for the fish ​Bhetki​. The Tamil name of the fish is "Koduva".
You may update the list with this information.
Feel free to mail / all me if you need any information related to Fisheries.
Best wishes.

Please let us know if you find any incorrect names. We will update it accordingly. Thanks.
