Title A contribution to the biology of Indian
Sand Whiting Sillago sihama (Forskal)
 
Creator Radhakrishnan, N
 
Subject Pelagic Fisheries
 
Description The Indian Sand Whiting, belonging to the family
Percomorphoidea), is of some importance to the coastal and estuarine
fisheries of India. Very little detailed study of this fish seems to have been
made, except for a short account of its food and feeding habits by Chacko
(1949), notes on the larval and post-larval stages by Gopinath (1942, 1946),
general notes by Devanesan and Chidambaram (1948), and observations on the
eggs and larvae by Chacko (1950). Cleland (1947) has given an account of the
economic biology of the Sand Whiting, Sillago ciliata, the best known species
in Australian waters. The post-larval stages of this species were described
by Munro (1945) and eggs and early larvae by Tosh (1903).
