Abstract

In fishes fat accumulates mostly in muscles, liver, intestine and gonads for
utilization during the reproductive activity (Milroy, 1898; Bruce, 1924; Channon
and Saby, 1932; Lovern and Wood, 1937; Hickling, 1947; Bailey, 1952; Hoar, 1957;
Love, 1957). Previous investigations (Milroy, 1898; Lovern and Wood, 1937;
Hickling, 1947) revealed that during maturation the fats which are stored in
various organs are transferred to maturing gonads.
Durairaj (1962) reviewed some previous investigations made with reference
to nutritive value and seasonal variations in fat contents of the fishes in India.'
The present problem was taken up during the period of 1961-62 with a view
to studying the quantitative distribution of fat and water in flesh and ovaries in
diflferent stages of maturity of Pseudosciaena aneus and Johnius carut
