Abstract
THE thread-fins {Polynemidce) constitute an important group of commercialfishes in Indian waters of which Polydactylus indicus forms probably the
most important species in Bombay and Saurashtra coasts. Except for stray
records of the different species of the family in various localities and of a
brief study of the breeding season and maturity of Eleutheronema tetradactylum
by Karandikar and Palekar (1950), and a descriptive account of
the larval development of the same species by Sarojini and Malhotra (1952),
very little pubUshed information is available regarding the distribution, food
and feeding habits, maturity, breeding, commercial catches etc. of this important
group of fishes.
