Abstract

This project was aimed at the study on the abundance and distribution of young grouper in Si Racha Bay, the eastern coast of the Golf of Thailand. At the depth of 2-10 meters, 5 survey stations were set to collect young grouper by bottom gill net. The result revealed that 79 percent of young grouper was collected from 6-10 meters depth and 21 precent from 2-6 meters depth. The Maximum catch occurred in May and October, 15.8 and 14.9 percent respectively. The mean length and the mean weight of the specimen with their standard deviations are 20.9 ± 3.5 centimeters and 128 ± 57 grams. The equation of the weight (Y in gram) and length (X centimeter) relationship is Y = 17.854 X-248.6.
