Abstract

Sardinella dayi contributes to a minor extent to the sardine fishery of the
Tuticorin area in the Gulf of Mannar. A few post-larval stages of this species in the size
range of 1870mnj.—20.25 mm and juveniles of 28 mm—36 mm are described. The
food of the post-larvae consisted mainly of copepods. A discussion on the identity of
the larvae and juveniles as those of S. dayi is given based on circumstancial evidence
and characteristic features distinguishing them from similar stages of related species.
