Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the morphometry, length-weight relationship, and condition factor of the riverine catfish (Rita rita) collected from the Indus River, Punjab, Pakistan. Compared morphometric characters revealed a positive allometric growth pattern (b=3.17) and high correlation (r=0.941**) between each other. The length-weight relationship was calculated as W= -435.40L24.15. The coefficient of correlation for the length-weight relationship was estimated at 0.941, indicating a high degree of correlation between these two parameters. The Condition factor varied from 0.69 to 1.28. This study will be useful for taxonomists and fisheries biologists to correctly identify R. rita and manage this species.
