Description In the course of the cruise undertaken by the author on board the Research
Vessel "Kalava" in February 1958, surface plankton collections were made
from Station Nos. 205-220 and also from the anchorages of the vessel in
the proximity of the Islands visited (Fig. 1). The larval swordfish from
Station No. 218 has already been described in the first article of this series
(Jones, 1958). There were sixteen larval specimens of the sailfish, Istiophorus
gladius (Broussonet) ranging in length from 3'4-ll'75mm., the particulars
of which are given in Table I. This appears to be the first record of larval
sailfish from Indian waters and since there are no descriptions of larvas of
this species, some of the typical stages are described briefly and figured.
