Description The importance of the waters around the Laccadives ' with their special ecological
conditions and their influence on the adjacent coastal waters of the mainland of
India' has been indicated in an interesting review of the oceanographical investigations
in the eastern section of the Arabian Sea by Jones (1959). The Laccadives
region is particularly interesting to the oceanographer, because of the presence of
the submarine ridge—the Laccadives-Chagos Ridge—which has a great influence
on the circulation of the water masses in this part of the Indian Ocean. The ridge
contributes, to some extent, to the enrichment of the upper waters of the mid-ocean
as has been suggested by Cooper (1957). . To the fishery investigator, this region
is equally interesting, as it is known to support a rich fishery, particularly of the
pelagic type. A detailed hydrographic survey of this region is, therefore, considered
necessary as it would help to throw light on several problems of oceanographical
and fishery interest.
