Abstract

Distribution and abundance of fish larvae collected from December 1964 to April 1965 in the Arabian Sea and the Persian Gulf are described. Deviations in the composition of the fish larvae fauna were due to kind of net used as well as to day time and to geographical area. Ecological differences were mostly pronounced when comparing the samples taken in the areas off East Africa, off India and in the Persian Gulf. Larvae of fishes which might be of economic importance were less abundant than larvae of fish species living mainly in the mesopelagic zone.
