Abstract: | Summary Growth ofOphicephalus striatus was studied from zones on the scales as these were found to be suitable for age determination. Lenght estimates obtained from the scale reading were further substantiated by back-calculations. Thevon Bertalanffy equation was employed to find out theoretical values of length in respect of various year classes. The theoretical values agreed with the observed values very closely.Length-weight relationship showed that the weight of fish increases slightly faster than the cube of the length. Thevon Bertalanffy equation gave a good fit to weight-age data. |
