The objectives of the present study were to determine the population parameters (growth, recruitment pattern and mortality) of Indian anchovy. Result showed that growth parameters (L”, K. and tj were 12.18 cm, 1.3 and -0.07 year, respectively; the recruitment pattern showed two pulses with two peaks, occuring in March and July; the mortality (Total, Natural and Fishing) were 5.78, 2.73 and 3.05 respectively.
