Abstract

A detailed statistical analysis of the rostrum length-total length relationship
of two species of palaemonicl prawns Macrobrachium idella and M. scabriculum
has been attempted. Two methods, analysis of covariance and body proportion
index methods, were employed. The growth pattern of rostrum in relation to tola'
length of M. scabriculum was different in the two sexes whereas it was the same
in the case of M. idella.
