Description The spawning periodicity of Trichiurus lepturus is briefly re-examined here in tlie
light of certain recent observations. It is seen that this species spawns more than once
in a year along the Madras coast and the two seasons are roughly around May-June and
later in November-December. This fact also leads to a revision in the interpretation
of the rate of growth of the fish. It is now estimated that the fish at the end of
one year attains an average of 300 mm in length and that those above about 900 mm
are just over four years.
