A detailed hydrographlc survey of the west coast of India from Cape Comorin in
the south to Veraval in tie north was undertaken during the cruises
of R. V. VARUNA in the early part of 1962 i.e. January-May. These cruises were
covered in several legs and the leg from Ratnagiri to Veraval is of important, since
it was the first time, a systematic survey of the area was made as part of the Fishery-
Hydrography programme of the C.M.F.R.I. The present account is based on the
results obtained during this last phase of these cruises. The area from coast
to sUghtly beyond the continental shelf was covered with seven hydrograjAic sections,
mostly latitudinal, (except an oblique section off Veraval) comprising in all 56
stations (Fig. 1). The spacing between the stations was fixed as 15 miles. As stable
conditions were expected during the period of observation, closer spacing of stations
was not considered necessary. Serial observations of temperature and salinity were
made at all international depths from surface to the bottom at every station. Samples
for dissolved oxygen were collected from a few stations initially, but the sampling
could not be continued owing to accidental loss of the oxygen-fixing reagents.
