Abstract

Studies on Pomadasys maculatus collected from the southwest coast of India showed fishes in the length range 130-197 mm with a mean standard length of 139.41 mm and body weight of 79.09 g. The growth pattern observed was isometric. P. maculatus shows no sexual dimorphism. Since there is no recent information on the morphometric and meristic characteristics of P. maculatus from India, the present study is expected to add more knowledge to the species.
