Abstract

Length frequency method was not helpful in detecting age and growth of Sunetta scripta because of its prolonged breeding periods at Porto Novo waters. All the other, methods viz. probability plot and von Bertalanffy's equation showed general agreement in the growth pattern. S. scripta attained 17.55, 26.63, 32.48 mm during 1st, 2nd and 3 year respectively and life span of this species was 3 to 4 years
