Title Some aspects of the biology of the ribbon
fish Trlchiurus haumela (Forskal)
 
Creator Prabhu, M S
 
Subject Pelagic Fisheries
 
Description Ribbon fishes of the genus Trichiurus occupy an important place among
Indian marine fishes judged by the magnitude of the fishery they support.
Delsman (1926) gave an account of six kinds of eggs and larvae of this genus
from Java Sea. Chacko (1950) reported the occurrence of eggs and larvae
of T. (?) savala from waters around Krusadai Island. Tang and Wu (1936)
published a preUminary note on the spawning ground of T.Japonicus in
Poi-hai, Gulf of ChihU. Prabhu (1950) gave a short account of the breeding
habits of T. haumela. Venkataraman (1944) and Chidambaram and
Venkatraman (1946) dealt with the feeding habits and natural history respectively.
Jacob (1949) published some notes on their bionomics. In a
detailed work on the food and feeding relationships of the fishes of Singapore,
Tham Ah Kow (195Q) has described the feeding habits of T. haumela.
Recently Vijayaraghavan (1951) has published the results of a quantitative
and qualitative analysis of the stomach contents of T.haumfk and T.sayala
at Madras. Mahadevan (1950) has described the histology of the alimentary
tract of Thgmiela. Devanesan and Chidambaram (1948) have enumerated
in a brief account, certain points of fisheries interest in these species in the
Madras State. With a view to obtaining accurate information on the fishery
biology of T. haumela, the most common Madras species, a detailed investiga-
tion on this species was taken up at Madras during 1947-49 and the results
obtained were supplemented, by further observations during subsequent
years.
