Distribution and biology of Chlorophthalmus bicornis Norman, beyond 250m depth off the south west coast in the Indian EEZ
The distribution and biology of Chlorophthalrnus bicornis (Famiily: Chlorophthalmidae) were studied based on the samples collected from the trawling operations conducted onboard FORV Sugar Sampada in her five cruises (Lat. 70N - 200 N) during 1999-2002. Length-weight relationship of the species can be expressed as W= 2.79 L2.88. This is a carnivorous species, feeding mainly on crustaceans and squids. Spawning was continuous as manifested by the presence of mature fishes in all trawling operations. Being a multiple spawner, truly spent specimens were scarcely found. The ovaries fall in the stages 111 to IV. The shoals were characterized by the preponderance of males.
