Abstract

Catla catla is a member of the major Indian carp family and is a widely cultivated fish individual found in rivers, lakes and ponds throughout the world, including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. To investigate the length-weight relation and length-to-length relationship for the cultivated Catla catla, 125 fish samples were collected from the research farm of Muhammad Nawaz Shareef-University of Agriculture Multan, Panjab, Pakistan. Weights of fish samples were measured and reported; condition factors with relationship or other morphometric parameters, such as eye diameter, total length, standard length, forked length, body weight, and body girth were addressed. The mean values of total length and the weight of the fish body of Catla catla were 5.04±1.43cm and 40±48.3g, respectively. Results of statistical analyses showed a highly significant correlation between the length-weight relationship and the length-length relationship of cultivated Catla catla. The intercept value (b) was 3.18 for length-weight relationships (LWRs) of cultivated Catla catla, indicating that the growth pattern is positively allometric. The current report provided information on unlike features in C. catla fish of other deviations to increase the body weight of fish marketable growth. In addition, this study is the primary effort to address the growth condition of this important species and other selected cyprinid species for their sustainable management and protection.
