The spotted seer or Scomberomorus guttatus, is an important and much
esteemed table fish, standing next in importance to Leiognathus splendens
in the fishery of Rameswaram Island, where approximately 320 tons of this
fish, fetching a market price of about Rs. 250,000, are landed every year
(Krishnamoorthi, 1958). It is well known in the fishery of all coastal areas
of India. Nevertheless the available literature furnishes Uttle exact information
about its biology except for some remarks on taxonomy and geographical
distribution by Day (1889) and Weber and Beaufort (1951), a description
of the egg by Delsman (1931) and notes on life-history and feeding habits
by Vijayaraghavan (1955). Accordingly, the present study was initiated to
gather some knowledge of the biology of this important commercial
species.
