By analysing the fishing records of the great yellow croaker, Pseudosciacna crocea (Ric-hardson), in spring fishing seasons of 1957-1964, the lesser yellow croaker, Pseudosciaenapolyactis (Bleeker), in the period 1961-1964, in Luzi-yang Fishing Ground, and the ribbon-fish, Tri chiurus haumela (Forskal) in winter fishing season along the coast of Choushan Is lands,the author found that low barometric pressure exerted obvious effect on the catches of thethose important commercial fishes. Several instances illustrating the said relation were brie-fly cited with the help of fish-finding echograms, and dense shoals of the above mentionedspecies under low barometric pressure were also demonstrated. A few points of the results observed may be noted: 1. There is a tendency when the barometric pressure drops down, a much larger dailycatch of these fishes could be anticipated. The catches may rise significantly if the baromet-ric pressure drops down to bolow 1010 milibars, and as long as the low barometric pressurepersists, high catches may sustain. 2. The effect of lower barometric pressure on the catch of the great yellow croakers issimilar to that of the lesser yellow croakers. 3. During the winter fishing season of the ribbon fishes at the Chou shan Fishing Ground,our observation disclosed that, under low barometric pressure of 1021 milibars, the fish shoalswere moving upward towards upper layer of 20 meters, but they started to swim downwardto medium or benthic region as soon as the barometric pressure rose above 1026 milibars. 4. The influence of low barometric pressure is variable in different sea regions.
