Abstract

Specimens of Nemipteriis delagoae Smith from Vizhinjam have a longer
first pelvicfin ray, a slightly more body depth and a bigger snout than the specimens
described by Smith (1939). There is no significant difference in the Regression
coefficient between males and females and a common equation for lengthweight
relationship is fitted. The species is a carnivore feeding mainly on crustaceans,
fishes molluscs and annelids.
