Maharashtra contributing 92% of the total landings and the remaining 8% landings were from West Bengal
and Orissa coasts. H. nehereus forms a commercial fishery along Hooghly estuarine systems. The present
study aims on the morphometric and meristic counts of H. nehereus. During the period of investigation, 373
