On ichthyoplankton of the Cochin backwater during spring tide.

It is known that the seed of several cultivable fishes occur in abundance in backwater areas. In order to understand the availability and distribution pattern of the ichthyoplankton of the Cochin Backwater, sam ples were collected regularly from a fixed station (09°58/N, 76°15/E) in Mattancherry Channel in the Cochin Backwater by operating a half a metre diameter nylon net (0.33 mm mesh size) for half an hour duration against the s^ing tide on full and new moon days from surface and bottom waters from June 1974 to Decem ber 1976. The ichthyoplankton at the station composed of gobids, clupeids, Ambassis sp., Cynoglossus sp.,
