Abstract
A variety of species of sciaenids are known to occur along the east andwest coasts of India (Lai Mohan 1969) where these form one of the commonest
of groups in the fish catches. From the west coast, Hefford (1949), Jayaraman
et al (1959) and Rao (1965) have dealt with the distribution, relative
abundance and catch trends of 'ghol' (Pseudosciaena diacanthus). Along the
east coast, knowledge regarding the distribution and abundance of sciaenids is
lacking. They contribute 10-15% of the total catches in the Government of
India trawlers operated from Visakhapatnam. Studies on the distribution of
sciaenids, occurring along the Andhra and Orissa coasts were taken up by the
author and the present paper reports the results of investigations carried
out on the basis of the data of M.T. Ashok during the period from 1964 to
1970 and of M.V. Champa during 1964-1971.
