Creator Bensam, P
 
Subject Fish biology
 
Description Among the many fishes found in Vellar Estuary, a few early developmental stages of Polynemus
sextardius, Slllago sihama. Genes oblongm, G. setiferus, Therapon jarbua, Lates calcarlfer and Siganus
Javus were collected and identified during 1977-79. Postlarvae of P. sextarlus ranged in total length
from 2.5 to 6.5 mm; those of S. sihama from 2.8 to 6.8 mm and juveniles from 8.3 to 150 mm ; those of
G. oblongus from 2.9 to 17.0 mm; of G. setiferus from 7.6 to 25.0 mm ; T. jarbua from 1.6 to 11.3 nun ;
L. calcarifer from 2.1 to 4.9 mm ; and S. Javus from 4.8 to 24.0 mm. The eggs of only two species,
G. oblor^us and T. jarbua could be collected and identified. The paper gives illustrations and brief
descriptions of most of these stages, many of them for the first time. Salient features of taxonomic
value are mentioned, along with comparison and contrast with similar stages of allied species described.
