126 samples of C. catla, 129 samples of C. mrigala and 163 samples of L. rohita were sampled in Kumhari reservoir, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India to study the growth parameters of length-weight. Log transformed regression were used to test the allometric growth. It was observed that the growth in weight is almost proportional to the cube of its length in L. rohita while C. catla and C. mrigala were slightly deviated from the cube of its length. The values of slope b = 2.8018, 3.4576 and 2.6275 were calculated for C. catla, L. rohita and C. mrigala respectively.

Abstract


126 samples of C. catla, 129 samples of C. mrigala and 163 samples of L. rohita were sampled in Kumhari reservoir, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India to study the growth parameters of length-weight. Log transformed regression were used to test the allometric growth. It was observed that the growth in weight is almost proportional to the cube of its length in L. rohita while C. catla and C. mrigala were slightly deviated from the cube of its length. The values of slope b = 2.8018, 3.4576 and 2.6275 were calculated for C. catla, L. rohita and C. mrigala respectively.
