Description Our knowledge of the breeding habits and early life-history of the two commercially
important pelagic fishes of India, namely, the oil sardine and the
mackerel, is very meager, even though investigations on these and allied
aspects of their biology were initiated about the beginning of this century.
The first attempt to determine the spawning habits and the factors which
control the migration of the oil sardine was made by Hornell (1910) who
made some general observations and at the same time stressed the need for
intensive investigations on the problems connected with the food, life-history
and seasonal migration of the oil sardine and the mackerel for the proper
development of these two major fisheries.
