Subject Pelagic Fisheries

Description Kowala coval popularly called the ' white sardine', is one of the pelagic shoaling
clupeids occurring in the seas around India. It appears frequently in the catches
of the indigenous crafts and mechanised vessels operating in the coastal waters.
Also, it contributes a fishery of some magnitude along certain areas. (Chidambaram
and Venkataraman, 1946 ; Mookerjee and Bhattacharya, 1950 ; Nair, 1952), particularly
in the southwest region. Delsman (1926 b ; 1933) collected the plahktonic
eggs of this species from the Java Sea and gave descriptions of a few early larval
stages. Subsequently Devanesan and John (1941), Nair (1952) and Bapat (1955)
have dealt with certain aspects of its biology including maturity, spawning season,
eggs, early larvae etc.
