Description Results of a preliminary study of the distribution and abundance of the swarming crab Charybdis (Goniohellenus) smithii
Macleay in the Deep Scattering Layers on the west coast of India are presented based on the analysis of 244 IKMT samples
collected by FORV Sagar Sampada during February, 1985 to January, 1986. The swarming crab is found to exist though out
the west coast of India as against its known distributional limit in the north upto Bhatkal in Karnataka coast. Maximum
