Abstract

Spawning and spent-recovering oil sardines Sardinella longiceps (Cuvier and
Valenciennes) unusually occurred in May 1976 at Vizhinjam, far south of the
limit of the traditional fishery for the species. It was also possible to collect the
egg, though a single one, from the same locality coinciding with this occurrence.
That there was considerable spawning activity of the species around this place
was indicated by the occurrence of postlarvae and juveniles in sufficient abundance
to form a minor fishery, during the immediately following period.
Illustrated descriptions of some important stages of early life history based
on the collections are given
