In the present paper, which deals with part of the results of the investigation undertaken by the author at the Zoological Research Laboratory, University of Madras, for three years (1950-53), on fish eggs and larvae occurring in Madras plankton, the methods of collection, of hatching of the eggs and of rearing the larvae in general are given, together with observations on the life-history of Scomberomorus guttdtus vidth its food and feeding habits.
