Description Fisheries sector have been gaining importance globally due to their role in national economy, foreign exchange
earnings and employment generation besides providing nutritious food and cheap protein not only to the fisher
folk but also to the rapidly growing population. Bombay duck fishery supported by single species, Harpodon
nehereus, contributes about 4-5 % of the estimated average annual marine landings of India. With a peculiar
discontinuous distribution fishery is utmost importance in two maritime states of India i.e. Gujarat and
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
fish samples with length range (145 to 302 mm) and weight range (28 to 212 gm) were examined. Highest
