Abstract

Otolithoides brunneus (Day), locally called 'Koth', occurring along the
Bombay and Saurashtra waters, is a sciaenid, growing to a size of over 160
cm and supporting a fishery of some importance (Jayaraman et al 1959, Bhatt
et al 1967, Rao et al 1966, 1972). Karandikar and Thakur (1951) studied
the anatomy of 'Koth'. Kutty (1961, 1967) studied the age and growth of
this species by using the scales and otoliths. He also made a brief report on
certain other aspects of its biology
