Description The occurrence of 425 juveniles of Trichiurus lepturus, measuring 37-120
mm, during March 1966 to October 1970 off Kakinada is reported. Food analysis
of 153 juveniles revealed that in the smaller juveniles calanoid copepods predominated
while the larger juveniles preferred fish larvae, prawn larvae and a variety
of crustaceans. The spawning period appears to be prolonged from January to
September with peak activity in February-June in the offshore waters beyond the
30 metre line. Ic is inferred that the juveniles are pelagic in habitat.
