Abstract

Landings of medium-sized serranids are not uncommon at Veraval. But landings of giant specimens of Promicrops lmceolatus (Bloch) are very unusual. On 28th December 1961, one specimen measuring 2220 mm. (Photograph) and again on 24th February 1962, two specimens measuring 2360 mm. and 2240 mm. were landed by hook and line, using rays as bait. The fish (called ' Wekli ' locally) were caught off Veraval at 53 metres depth. It was thought worthwhile to record the measurements and other particulars of these fish for purposes of future comparison
