FOREWORD

0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution
on 14 March 1974, after the draft finalized by the Fish and Fisheries Products
Sectional Committee had been approved by the Agricultural and Food
Products Division Council.
0.2 With a view to facilitating uniform interpretation of various commercially important inland and marine fish species of India, this Indian
Standard has been formulated.
0.3 It is intended that adoption of the Indian Standard glossary would
facilitate the interstate and international trade in fresh and processed fish
and avoid disputes arising from misinterpretation of various species of fish
based on their common and local names.
0.4 This standard is based on the information received from Directorates of
Fisheries of different states, the Zoological Survey of India, Calcutta and the
Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, Co&in.
1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard includes zoological names, common English names and
local names of some commercially important fresh water and marine fish
species of India.
1.1.1 This
standard
also includes some commercially
important
crustaceans.
2. ABBREVLATIONS
2.1 For the purpose of this standard,
