Abstract

The occurrence of young oil sardine in large proportions in the inshore
waters of Bombay is not very usual. The occurrence was noticed during January
and February 1971. They were caught in 'dol' nets being operated from machanised
boats just near and around the floating light house in Bombay. Size
frequencies, scale studies and stomach contents were studied. A comparison of
surface water temperature and salinity was made to see if they were responsible
for the unusual large scale migration of these young oil sardines to the inshore
waters of Bombay.
