Abstract

This paper examines the oceanographic situation in the north-eastern Arabian Sea shelf area during the period when the trade winds change. The location and intensity of the discharge front there have been found to be dictated by tidal events and the wind régime. It is shown that commercial fish shoals move over the water column along with the front and that fish catches are largest when the front is steady.
