Creator Bensam, P
 
Subject Eggs and Larvae
 
Description India is a tropical, peninsular country, situated
between about Lat. 3° and 38® N and between about Long' 68'
and 80'' E. There is an extensive coastline of more than
6,500 Km, dotted with many estuaries, creeks, backwaters
bays, lagoons, etc. frequented by quite a few species
of fishes. According to Talwar and Kacker (1984)^ there
are about 1,400 marine and estuarine fish species in India,
Of these/ about 100 species belong to the group of sharks,
rays and skates (Esasmobranchii), which are mostly viviparous,
giving birth to their young ones and hence do not pose any
problems with regard to their identity in their young
stages.
