This study describes the length-weight relation (LWR) of small indigenous fish Pethia ticto from Gomti River, Aamghat, Haliyapur, Sultanpur district 260 29N and 810 44E, 751m (msl) Uttar Pradesh, India. A total of 306 specimens were caught by random sampling method using traditional fishing gear as gillnet, cast net and dragnet of various mesh sizes from June 2016 to May 2017, once in a month. Total Length (mm) was measured from anteriormost part of the snout to the posterior-most part of the caudal fin and body weight (g) were taken by digital electronic balance. The analysis of data shows that the allometric coefficient is close to isometric value (3.0). Allometric growth indicates a more rotund population of fish when the values of growth coefficient are higher than 3.0 (b>3). If the value of growth coefficient is less than 3.0, the population of fish is known to be less rotund. Isometric growth indicates that the shape of fish does not change as it grows (b=3). The coefficient of determination (R2 ) was also found significant (=0.97). Fulton’s condition factor further supports the results obtained ranged from 1.041 to 1.660 shows the degree of well being of a fish. This study is helpful in providing relevant information in the assessment of stock and estimation of the fish condition about its environment

The hilsa shad <em>Tenualosa ilisha</em> (Hamilton, 1822), is a commercially important and highly relished food fish. This paper presents the length-weight relationships (LWR) and condition factor of hilsa, throughout its geographical distribution in India. A total of 910 samples of <em>T. ilisha</em>, comprising 404 males and 288 females collected from various locations of east and west coasts of India were used for analyses. Heterogeneity in the LWR of males, females and pooled population was noticed. The regression coefficient (b) ranged from 2.07-3.68 for pooled, 0.75-3.03 for males and 1.78-2.97 for females. The coefficient of determination (R2) varied between 0.72-0.98 in pooled, 0.73-0.94 in males and 0.76-0.97 in females. Fulton’s condition factor (K) ranged from 0.47-3.05 in pooled, 0.47-1.63 in male and from 0.77-3.05 in female samples whereas relative condition factor (Kn) varied from 0.48-2.51 in pooled population, from 0.47-1.56 in males and 0.76-2.33 in females. Mean Fulton’s condition factor (K) ranged from 0.7-1.33 in pooled population, 0.92-1.28 in males and from 0.95-1.39 in females whereas the mean relative condition factor (Kn) varied between 0.98-1.04 in pooled population, 0.98-1.04 in males and 0.98-1.03 in females. These parameters (b, K, Kn) have been found useful in evaluating the well-being of different populations of this species. Most of the populations under study showed concordance to ideal value of b, thereby indicating isometric growth. However, significant negative allometric growth was observed for pooled samples from Padma, Hoogly and males from Padma and significant positive allometric growth was observed in the pooled samples collected from Hoogly. Comparative study of recent data with the decadal old data (1999-2000) revealed differences in mean size of the fish. This study also indicates overexploitation of the species in the recent years, which might be due to intensive fishing efforts.

Length-weight relationships (LWRs) and condition factor are important biological information to assess the growth pattern and wellbeing of fish species influenced by numerous abiotic and biotic factors. To date, no data on the LWRs and condition of mullets in Sombreior River, Niger Delta. Hence, this research was conducted to determine abundance, length–weight relationship and Fulton’s condition factor (K) of three species of fish belonging to family Mugilidae in Sombreior River, Nigeria. There were a total of 248 samples from five sampling stations for a period of months. Fish species were of various sizes ranging from 24.66±0.40 to 26.35±0.26cm in length and 141.41±6.30 to 161.56±5.87g in weight. For the three species, slope (b) values ranged from 2.18 to 2.68 indicating a negative allometric growth of all fish species. The mean condition factor ranged from 0.89±0.03 forsix Mugil cephalus to 0.93±0.03 for Parachelon grandisquamis while the coefficients of determination (R2) of the LWR regressions ranged between 0.64 (Neochelon falcipinnis) and 0.79 (Parachelon grandisquamis). It was concluded that the mullets in the Sombreior River had a negative allometric growth pattern and the condition is showing the species were in good state of well-being since mean K values are  greater than 1.

Aim: The study aimed to investigate the morphometric and meristic measurements, length-weight relationship and relative condition factor of Odonus niger landed along coastal Karnataka. Methodology: The morphometric and meristic measurements, length-weight relationship and relative condition factor (Kn) of O. niger was studied for a period of eight months from August 2019 to March 2020. The different morphometric characters were subjected to statistical analysis. The length-weight relationship was analyzed for both the sexes (female and male) and combined data. Monthly relative condition factor was analyzed for both the sexes and for different size group. Results: A comparison of different morphometric measurements exhibited good extent of correlation indicating good extent of interdependence of these characters. Four out of eight morphometric characters are environmentally controlled and suggested wide range of zoogeographical distribution of O. niger. The length-weight relationship is indicated as W = 0.046 L2.565, W = 0.044 L2.589 and W = 0.047 L2.561 with coefficient of determination (r2) of 0.910, 0.913 and 0.910 for male, female and combined sexes, respectively. The 'b' values of both the sexes (male and female) exhibited negative allometric growth (p<0.05) and appeared to be leaner. There was no significant (p<0.05) variation for relative condition factor (Kn) among the months and size groups. However, little higher values were observed during November and February. Interpretation: The study fills the knowledge gap and support for developing a suitable management system for this fish species.

The knowledge of length-weight relationship parameters has numerous practical applications in fishery research and management. Currently, there is a dearth of information on the growth pattern and state of well-being of Parachanna africana in Ijede and Agbowa Lagoons. This study period was between December 2017, and June 2018 investigated the allometry and condition factor of P. africana inhabiting the Ijede and Agbowa Lagoons, South-western Nigeria. Two hundred fish samples of P. africana was gotten from fishermen at both locations. The length and weight measurements were taken to the nearest centimetres and grams. Descriptive, correlation and regression tools, was used to 2analyse the data collected. Results obtained showed that the length-weight relationship had r values of  0.186, 0.196, 0.191 and 0.341, 0.001, 0.098 for Ijede and Agbowa respectively, at a significant level of  P<0.05 for male, female and combined sexes. The b values of 0.193 for Ijede and 0.165 for Agbowa were not significantly different (P> 0.05). The mean condition factors of 0.365 ±0.141 and 0.329±0.169 were obtained in Ijede and Agbowa, respectively. It was observed that the species in both lagoons exhibited negative allometric growth patterns with values 0.365 and 0.330 for Ijede and Agbowa lagoons respectively with no variations in the condition factors of both locations which indicate the need to assess human and domestic activities surrounding these water bodies.

Aims: The Tanoe-Ehy swamp forest (TESF) is a freshwater swampy area characterized by seasonal variation of environmental parameters and fish diversity. So, the aim of this study was to analyze seasonal variations of growth parameters and condition factors of the three abundant species. Methodology: Specimens were collected by using gill nets and fyke nets, measured and weighed. Length-weight relationship (LWR), Fulton’s condition (KF) and relative condition (KR) factors were analyzed from Standard Length (SL) and body weight (BW). Results: The Standard Length of Clarias buettikoferi, Thysochromis ansorgii and Parachana obscura varied between 9.50 and 29.30 cm, 4.60 and 11.50 cm, 10.70 and 29.30 cm, respectively. The growth type of population was allometric negative for C. buettikoferi and P. obscura and isometric for T. ansorgii. In terms of seasonal variation, C. buettikoferi females and P. obscura specimens exhibited isometric growth in dry seasons (DS) against a negative allometric growth in flooded seasons (FS). In contrast, female and combined sex specimens of T. ansorgii showed positive allometric growth in DS and isometric growth type in FS. KR varied between 0.76 and 2.02 and was significantly higher in FS than in DS, indicating a state of well-being during flooded seasons in the 3 species. Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between length with weight and both condition factor for the three species. This study provided the first data about fish body measurements in the TESF and concluded that LWRs and condition factors of the three fish species were strongly influenced by seasonal variations in hydrological conditions.
