Abstract
Different morphometric characters of Bolcophthalmus dussumieri Ciiv. &.Val. and B. dentatus Cuv. & Val. collected from the Karachi coast between April
and December 1982 showed linear relationships. The fastest growing part in both
the species is the preanal, followed by predorsal and caudal fin, and the slowest
growing part is the eye-diameter, followed by snout. Separate equations for describing
the length-weight relationships for males and females are justified. The
males and females do not follow 'cube law'. The Relative condition factor reveals
that maturation starts from 60-65 mm SL onwards in males and 70-75 mm SL
onv/ards in females in both the species
