Title A description of Sardinella dayi Regan (Pisces:
Clupeidae) of Indian seas with remarks on its close
Similarity with Sardinella maderensis (Lowe) and
Sardinella jussieui (Valenciennes)

Subject Oil sardine
 
Description Since the existing descriptions of Sardinella dayi Regan are based on very
few specimens, a detailed account of its morphometric and meristic characters on
the basis of 50 specimens collected from Karwar (type locality), Vizhinjam and.
Tuticorin of the Indian coast, is presented. It is concluded that the material from
Mauritius figured and included by Fowler (1941) under S. dayi is referable to
S. jussieui(Valenciennes). Drawing attention to the close similarity between these
two species and S. maderensis, it is recommended that future studies should assess
how far the differences between these species justify distinction at species level.
