Qualitative and quantitative distribution of planktonic cephalopods in the Exclusive Economic Zone of the west coast of India
The cephalopod larvae and juveniles in plankton samples collected during the first 10 cruises of FORV Sagar Sampada off
the west coast of India from February to December, 1985 have been studied for their qualitative and quantitative distribution.
The samples were obtained in Bongo net operations carried out in an extensive area covering Lat. 4┬░ to 23┬░ N and Long.
65┬░ to 77┬░ E. Out of the total 258 stations sampled, cephalopods were obtained in 110 stations in varying numbers. The
estimated number of cephalopods per haul ranged between 1 and 112. Of the total number of hauls in which cephalopods
obtained, 51% occurred in night hauls and the rest in day hauls
Trends in world cephalopod fisheries and IndiaтАЩs status
Globally cephalopods are an important fishery
resource and many species are taken in directed and
bycatch fisheries around the world. Cephalopods make
up only a small proportion (nearly 3 %) of the world
capture fisheries landings , but there hav e been
substantial increases during the last three decades

Some observations on parental care in Octopus dollfusi Robson (Cephalopoda : Octopodidae)
Some of the octopi are well known for their complex behaviour during the
brooding period. The present paper describes certain remarkable habits observed
in a brooding adult of Octopus dollfusi Robson. O. dollfusi appears to be a species
of restricted distribution, having been recorded so far only from Nias, Amoy, and
Ennore (Madras) (Adam, 1960 and 1962). However it seems to be a common
littoral form on the southeastern coast of India
On the occurrence of the black clam, Villorita cyprinoides (Gray)in Pulicat Lake
The black clam villorita cyprinodes belonging to the family corbiculidae is widely distributed in the estuaries of west coast of india
Octopod resources
The Octopod resources of the Indian seas arc dealt with and the possibilities for organising a fishery by adopting modem methods of fishing are discussed
Two incidents of fire accident at Madras Fishing Harbour during the month of April, '84
The two incidents of fire accident at Madras Fishing Harbour during the month of April, '84, On the early hours of 5-4-84 at about 4 A.M. the first fire accident took place. On the southern side of the fish landing centre at Kasimode The fire quickly spread in the northern direction causing complete damage to 42 sheds, six trawlers, 22 sets of catamarans, one fibre glass boat and six trawl nets.
