Description For the development of a scientific management policy for any fishery, it
is essential to know among other things, the rate of growth of the species
concerned and the changes in the age-composition of its stocks from season
to season and from year to year. The present paper deals with the results
of investigations which were designed to collect information on these two
aspects in relation to the Malabar sole, Cynoglossus semifasciatus. Although
this forms a valuable fishery along the Malabar Coast no attention has been
paid in the past to a detailed investigation of its biology. There are however,
brief general references to certain aspects of this species by Chidambaram
and Venkataraman (1946) and Devanesan and Chidambaram (1948) in their
accounts of the fisheries of the West Coast of Madras State. A detailed
study of the fishery and biology of this species has been carried out by the
present authors at Calicut and a short note forming part of this work has
recently been published (1951) on the possibility of age determination in
this species by means of scales.
