The green chromide (Etroplus suratensis) is a species of cichlid fish that is native to fresh and brackish water habitats in some parts in India such as Kerala, Goa, Chilika Lake in Odisha and Sri Lanka. The species was first described by Marcus Elieser Bloch in 1790.[2] This species and other members of the genus Etroplus are relatively closely related to the Paretroplus cichlids from Madagascar.[3]
Other common names include pearlspot cichlid,[1] banded pearlspot, and striped chromide.[4] In Kerala, it is known locally as karimeen. In Tamil Nadu, it is known locally as the pappan or pappa[5] In Goa, the fish is known as kalundar.[6] In Odisha, the local name is kundal.[7] In Sri Lanka this fish is known as Mal koraliya.
It has been introduced in various parts of the world outside its native range,[1] including Singapore, where it occurs in estuaries.[8] The Government of Kerala declared pearlspot as the official fish of Kerala.
