Abstract

For a study of the early developmental stages of marine fishes occurring in the locality where work is taken up, it is essential to acquire a sound knowledge on the various species occurring in that area. The Ramanathapuram District wherein Mandapam and the adjoining areas are located, has a coast-line of about 260 km covering the sea front of Gulf of Mannar and Palk Bay. These seas have lucrative fishing grounds with good concentration of finfishes, shellfishes, seaweeds and other organisms of economic importance.
