Abstract

Decapteiiix dayi Wakiya attains a length of 150 mm in the first year and
184 mm by 19 months at Vizhinjam. Maximum growth of 30 mm and 20 mm was
noticed during the first and second months, respectively. Though many broods
enter into the fishery in the same year, those bom in April manifest strongly in
the fishery than the earlier and later ones. The younger broods tend to catch up
the older ones by faster growth and form a unimodal group at the size of 120-129
mm, and are found as a distinct unimodal size class then onwards
