    Abstract

    The decapterids, popularly known as ' Mackerel scads,' appear sporadically in large numbers along the east and west coasts of India. The season for these fish in the Bombay waters appears to be from December to February. The Government of India trawler, M. F. V. Jheenga, obtained nearly 2 tons of these fish, in each of the two consecutive hauls on 12-12-1963, while fishing on the continental shelf at Lat. 19°05'N. and Long. 71°45'E., at a depth of 40-45 fathoms, where the bottom was muddy sand. Day (1878-88) reported the appearance of these fish in the Madras waters in the month of October ; Misra (1962) also recorded their occurrence during the same month off Trivandrum on the west coast.
