At Gopkuda purely freshwater species such as Barbus ampli- 
bius, Haplochilus panchax and H. melanostigma occur. These are 
not represented at Satpara. 
In March 1909 trawling was carried on on the Bengal Govern- 
ment vessel the ‘‘ Golden Crown ” off the entrance to Lake Chilka in 
depths of about 27 fathoms on a muddy bottom. 
On comparing the fish obtained in these hauls with those 
from the lake, one finds that there are four species common to 
the three lists, namely Chatoessus nasus, Chrysophrys berda, Equula 
edentula and Tytacanthus brevirostris; while there are five other 
species found both in the sea off the lake entrance and at 
Satpara, but not at Gopkuda Island. ‘These are Umbrina macrop- 
tera, Caranx djedaba, Polynemus plebeius, Therapon jarbua and 
Pristipoma hasta. 
It is certainly rather curious that while purely marine forms 
were obtained together with freshwater species from Gopkuda, 
typical estuarine types such as Osteogeniosus militaris should not 
have been found there.
