The authorship and collaborative research patterns in Indian wildlife and fisheries based on the data collected from "Wildlife Review and Fish Review" published bettween 1980 to 1989 are studied. The proportion of single authored papers has decreased from 63.68% in 1980 to 52.74% in 1989. During the same period there was an increase in the average number of authors per paper from 1.57 in 1980 to 1.70 in 1989. The degree of collaborative research also increased from 0.36 to 0.47.
