Description The fry and flng^rlings of the Indian sand whiting, Sillago sihama
(Forskal), which can serve as seed, have been found to occur in the coastal
waters of the Palk bay throughout the year, with at least three months of peak
abundance, January, Maf and October. From the year-round availability of
these it appears that S. iihama breeds throughout the year, probably with three
peak ptiriods, namely, May-June, August-September and November-December.
These were observed to be more during day than in night, and more during the
receding and low tides than during the incoming tides. The overall abundance
was highest during full mdon period. While a direct relationship of the abundance
of the Ixy and fingerlings; could be noticed with the increase in temperature and
dissolved-oxygen content,; no such relationship was seen with changes in the
salinity of sea water.
