This study reports the first occurrence of partial albinism in a tropical anguillid eelAnguilla bengalensis bengalensisfrom Malaysia. This paper also describes the first record of albinism in the genusAnguilla. The occurrence of albinism in our specimen ofAnguillamight have been caused by three factors: (1) contamination effects; (2) random genetic alterations; or (3) genetic alteration due to small population size. The present results suggest that the albinism inA. bengalensis bengalensisis probably caused by random genetic alteration. Partial albinism may not be a handicap in the life of the present specimen because the eel could still potentially grow to more than 1 m in total length, just like a normal adult eel.

A partial albino specimen of Rhombosolea leporina with a total length of 295 mm was collected from Manukau Harbour, south of Auckland City, New Zealand. This is the first record of abnormal pigmentation in the wild yellow-belly flounder from New Zealand waters. The specimen is patterned with a white blotch on the caudal peduncle area of the ocular side. Causes for such colour aberration are discussed.
