Description The fork length of the specimens of C.
hippurus collected along Karnataka coast ranged
from 30- 123 cm and fishes having length range from
33-73 cm represented 79% of the total fish sampled.
The estimated b values of C. hippurus for both males
and females were less than 3 which indicated
negative allometric growth; the fish grows faster in
length than weight. The most dominant item
recorded in the gut of C. hippurus was pelagic and
mesopelagic teleosts. Cephalopods (squids,
cuttlefish and octopus) were the second important
food constituent while crustaceans consisting of
crabs and shrimps formed very less quantity.
