Description The flying-fish fishery is an important seasonal fishery on the east coast of
India extending from Madras to Point CaUmere along the Coromandel
coast. Beyond this region there is no organised fishery for this species
though they have been recorded in small numbers elsewhere along the east
coast and rarely along the west coast. Along the Coromandel coast the
season starts towards the end of May and lasts till the middle of July, though
occasionally it extends up to the middle of August. It has been observed
that the flying-fishes never appear in discoloured and muddy water. It is
reported that, if the monsoons break early and discolour the sea-water with
the silt from the rivers, the fishes migrate away from the shore and the
season comes to an abrupt end.
