Length-weight relationship of 11 fish species from tropical estuarine ecosystem along the central west coast of India
Length weight relationship is reported for 11 fish species collected from the Mandovi-Zuari estuarine system along the west coast of India. The species studied were Osteomugil cunnesius (Valenciennes, 1836), Chelon parsia (Hamilton, 1822), Alepes kleinii (Bloch, 1793), Alepes djedaba (Forsskål, 1775), Scatophagus argus (Linnaeus, 1766), Sillago sihama (Forsskål, 1775), Platycephalus indicus (Linnaeus, 1758), Ambassis ambassis (Lacepède, 1802), Thryssa mystax (Bloch & Schneider, 1801), Terapon jarbua (Forsskål, 1775) and Lactarius lactarius (Bloch & Schneider, 1801). The ‘b’ values ranged from 2.64-3.31. As a major result of this study, new records of maximum length were observed for O. cunnesius and A. kleinii.
