and Java. I n India, fingerlings of Chanos are caught in numbers large
enough to be worth collecting and sending inland to stock fresh-water
tanks and lakes-they are about 2-6 inches long, and can be placed
immediately in fresh water, though they are more commonly acclimatized by several changes from sea water to fresh water.

FIG. 8. Four of tho commonest animals reared in brackish-water fishponds. (a) Milkfish, Chanos chanos Forsk. (b) Gray Mullet, Liza sp, (a) Tilapin mossainbica Pot)ers
and (d) Penaeid prawn, such as Penaeus brevicornis (H. M. Edwards).
The most important of the grey mullets (Pig. 8) for fish culture is
the striped grey mullet, Mugil cephalus L. This is a true marine fish,
which has been seen spawning over deep water in the Gulf of Mexico
(Arnold and Thompson, 1958). They also spawn in the Taiwan Channel
(Tang, 1964), off Hong Kong (Bromhall, 1954) and over the deep water
off the Mediterranean coasts (Ghazzawi, 1933). But as is the case with
