The fecundity was in the range of 9506 to 16113 with a mean value of 11902.133±543.377 for a corresponding length and weight 17-20.9cm and 68.71-82g. The correlation co-efficient for fecundity and total length (TL), fecundity and body weight (BW), fecundity and gonad weight (GW) and gonad weight (GW) and body weight (BW) were 0.907, 0.978, 0.984 and 0.995 respectively. The mean GSI (%) was 4.54±0.16 with a range of 3.72-5.54. The regression line for the TL, BW, GW and GSI of the sample fishes were found to be linear when they were plotted against their fecundity. All the variables observed were significant at P<0.01.Read More
