Abstract

The single equations for describing length-weight and length-volume relationships of indeterminate, males and females of Nemipterus japonicus (Bloch) have been justified. A comparison of the regression coefficients for the Andhra-Orissa and Kerala Coasts with the Pakistani Coast shows differences from the former and the resemblances with the latter, which suggests that the N. Japonicus of the Pakistan Coast may belong to the same stock as the Kerala Coast. The distribution of condition factor ' K' for indeterminate, males and females has been tabulated.
