Title Some aspects of the fishery and biology
of Polydactylus indicus (Shaw)

Description One of the commercially important fisheries of the Bombay and Saurashtra
waters is that of Polydactylus indicus locally known as 'Dara'. PreUminary
observations on the biology and fishery of P. indicus have been recorded by
Mohamed (1955). The food and feeding habits of this species are described
by Karekar and Bal (1958). The present investigations were undertaken
with a view to obtaining more information regarding the fishery and biology
of this important species. This paper deals with the data collected on the
catches of trawlers working from Bombay, during the years 1950-57, supplemented
by observations made at a few of the other centres where a good
fishery for this fish exists. During this period different types of trawlers
were operating from Bombay. Taiyo Mam No. 17 operated Otter-trawl
from 1951-54. The Cutters M.T. Ashok and M.T. Pratap used Ottertrawls
during 1950-53 and then they together formed into a pair of Bulltrawlers
from 1953-57. In addition to these, two more pairs of Bull-trawlers,
namely, Satpati-Pilotan and Arnalla-Paj started operating during 1956-57.
