Abstract

FEATHER-BACKS, comprising the genus Notopterus, are represented in India
by two species, viz., N. notopterus and A'^. chitala, of which N. notopterus
has a widespread distribution. It abounds in fresh and brackish waters
from India to Malay Archipelago (Day, 1878). Though the species attains
a maximum size of 6r0cm (Day, op. cit.), specimens beyond 40-0 cm were
not encountered in the present study. Besides being consumed both in
fresh and dry state, the species has many potential uses (Anon., 1962).
