N.V. KADTAN AND K.S. SHILLEWAR

Abstract

The length weight relationship is the most important aspect in biological studies of fishes. Length of a fish has certain mathematical relationship with its weight. This relationship changes at different life phases of fish and useful to find out length when the weight is known and vice-versa. For this study 46 specimens of Metynnis argenteus were measured out of them 28 males and 18 were females. By using cube law method for determination of relationship between length and weight of fish was employed.
