Abstract

The data on the catches, fishing eflFort, length and sex composition relating to the
purse seine fishery for the oil sardine, Sardinella longiceps V^l. off Cochin, during the
three seasons from 1968-69 to 1970-71 are presented. A comparison of catch rates of
the sardine landed by this gear with those of the boat seine thmgu vala during the same
period has been made. A comparative study of the length range, the modal and
the mean length distributions of the oil sardine catches obtained in the two gear revealed
a fairly good similarity. Application of Chi-square test on the sex composition data of
the sardine shoals fished by purse seine during 1969-71 indicated that there was no significant
dominance of either sex
