Description 275-279
A clupeid group (Hilsa) in the Indian sub-continent is
represented by three species viz., Tenualosa toli, T. ilisha and
Hilsa kelee, which has great economic significance for the fishers.
Tenualosa toil is observed to have narrow distribution in the
Indian sub-continent, along with vulnerability status. The present
study describes the morphological and meristic features of T. toli
collected from the Narmada estuary, Gujarat, India. A single
specimen was collected from the bag net catches (10 mm cod-end
mesh size) - from Bhadbhut fishing site in December 2019. The
size of specimen with a total length of 298 mm, standard length of
224 mm, and weight of 214 g. The morphometric and meristic
characters were assessed and compared with other published
literature. The present investigation of T. toli suggested that
immediate measures should be adopted to rejuvenate the species
in the aquatic habitats.
