Gopalakrishnan, an eminent marine fish geneticist, for his valuable contributions to fish conservation, sustainable management of Indian fisheries and his support to elasmobranch genetic research.
Eponymy: The name of this genus derives from Iago, the villain in Shakespeare’s play Othello. The authors say that this genus is “a troublemaker for systematists and hence a kind of villain”. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
