Abstract

Length-weight relationship for Penaens pencillatus (Alcock) from the
Mindsar estuary of Saurashtra (Gujarat) shows that there is no sex difference in
length-weight relationship, which is expressible as LOG W = -4.5623 + 2.71
LOG L. The relationship between the length and weight for P. pencillatus is found
to be significant (r = 0.97; P 1%). The relative condition factor showed monthly
fluctuations, highest peak denoting the spawning period and the trough and the
small peak representing the cyclic gonadial development. Sexual maturity was
attained when the prawn measured 66-70 mm length
