Abstract
The activity of some common species of fish was studied on the basis of the number
of fishes caught~ gill nets between specific intervals. The results indicated that all the
three species investigated, viz., Gudusia chapra, Osteobrama cotio cotio and Eutropiichthys
vacha, were active during the first quarter of the day (00:00-06:00 h) and hence is the best
period for harvesting these species by gill net.
