Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society of Bengal 1946 (Science)

1947

At the north-western edge of the peninsula in the region of the mouths of the Indus and at the north-east in the offings and in the mouths of the mighty Ganges and Brahmaputra and further on in Burma in and near the estuaries of the Irrawaddy and the Salween and again further on in the Mergui Archipelago fisheries conditions will be better. [...] It is the smaller of the two and it is used in shallow water whereby a look out in the mast of the fishing craft is seeking the surface for any sign of a school of fish. [...] The fishes belong to the family Pomacentridae and the anemones to the family Discosomatidae of the older writers the Stoichactidae of today. [...] This singular persistence of the fish in keeping in the same spot and to the close vicinity of the great Anemone aroused in me strong suspicions of the existence of some connection between them. [...] One of the fish seems to be circumnavigating its host another of about the same size is nearly hidden among the tentacles on the right while the third and largest is over the partly closed mouth of the anemone.
