Description Adult Sardinella gibbosa in pre-spawning and spawning stages were observed in
March 1969 in Waltair - Kakinada region from catches made 15-20 km from shore.
Plankton collections made during this period off Kakinada contained eggs which have been
assigned to S. gibbosa based on circumstantial evidence and resemblances. Most of the
stomachs of 5. ^/'66oM examined during the period were either empty or contained very
little food. These indicate that there was extensive spawning of the species off the
North Andhra coast in March-April 1969.
