Introduction
Fishery Survey of India was established on 26th August 1946, as a Deep sea Fishing Station in post-war era to augment the fish production in the country. With the new horizon of fisheries development in the country the institute was assigned greater responsibilities of exploratory surveys and fish stock assessment during 1970s. Since then the institute has been engaged in exploratory survey of marine fishery resources in the Indian EEZ. The institute through its sustained efforts during the past has generated voluminous amount of data on the marine fisheries with information on stock size, resource composition, seasonality and biology. The information gathered is published in form of bulletins, charts, atlases, occasional papers and special publications. However, the publications, especially those published during the early period have been without abstracts and summaries. In order to easily access these publications by the end users this publication contains the abstracts of all such publications since inception of the institute.
Some of the earlier publications did not contain abstracts. For those publications abstracts have been prepared (marked *) and in case of publications already having abstracts by authors, such abstracts are reproduced in this volume.
