Title On the juveniles of Sardinella fimbriata (Val.) and Sardinella gibbosa (Blkr.)
 
Creator Dharmamba, M
 
Subject Fishery biology
 
Description Two species of sardines, namely, Sardinella fimbriata and Sardinell glbbosa contribute to the
sardine fishery at Lawson's Bay, Waltair, extending over a period of 9-10 months (October to
June or July) and the fishery is mainly supported by the juveniles of the two species, S. fimbriata
being more abundant. Though the adults of the two species could be distinguished on the basis
of their height-length ratios, the specific identification of the juveniles is difficult due to the close
similarity in their external appearance. Excepting black pigmentation, all the colouration which
aids to separate the two species in fresh condition, is observed to disappear after fixation and even
after a few hours post-mortem. Hence a detailed study of some of the morphometric and meristic
characters has been made to find out characters that could be used to distinguish the juveniles
of the two species.
