Oil sardine
 
Description Although Homell (1910) made a few observations on the spawning habits
and migratory movements of Indian oil sardine. Sardinella longiceps, the first
concerted attempt to "understand its maturity and spawning habits and to delimit
the spawning season can be said to have been made by Homell and Nayudu
(1924). Following this, Devanesan (1943), while confirming some of the earlier
findings, also contradicted certain others. Later, Nair (1953 & 1959) giving a
detailed review of earlier investigations, did not agree with some of the observations
of previous workers in addition to providing more information to our
knowledge on the spawning habits of oil-sardine based on his study from
1948 to 1955. Since these authors had to divide their attention not only to
administrative problems but also to various other aspects of biology of the
fish at the same time, it is but natural that conclusions have been drawn with
limited data at their disposal.
