Indian Fish and Fishing by Francis Day is a comprehensive work on the diverse fish species of India and the fishing practices across the subcontinent. Published in the 19th century, it explores the variety of freshwater and marine fish found in India, detailing their characteristics, habitats, and importance in local cultures. Day provides insights into the techniques and tools used in Indian fishing, highlighting the economic and social significance of fishery industries. The book is a valuable resource for understanding India’s rich aquatic biodiversity, as well as the traditional and modern methods of fishing practiced throughout the country.

Francis Day (1605–1673) was an East India Company administrator and a key figure in the founding of Madras (now Chennai). In 1639, Day, alongside Andrew Cogan, secured the purchase of land from the Raja of Chandragiri and established a trading settlement at Madraspatnam, which later developed into the city of Madras. Day played a pivotal role in the construction of Fort St. George, which began in 1640 and was completed in 1653. His strategic decision to settle in this location attracted merchants, weavers, and artisans, shaping the growth of the city's economy and infrastructure during the 17th century.
