Abstract

A type of clupeiod fish eggs 1.005-1.065 mm in diameter with six or seven
oil globules recorded in the plankton off Madras coast from February to April
and in December in 1967 and in January and March in 1968 have been ascribed
to Hilsa kelee (Cuvier) based on the structure of the eggs and larvae hatching
from them, the simultaneous occurrence of ripe fish of the species in inshore
waters of Madras and coincidence of myotome number of larvae with the number
of vertebrae in adult fish.
