Abstract
The length-weight relationship of Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer) reared for 225 days in a pond culture system using formulated feed, was studied. Length-weight data were collected monthly and grouped into four based on their weight i.e., 1-50 g, 50-100 g, 100-500 g and > 500 g. Higher coefficient of correlation between length and weight in the 1-50 g and 50-100 g size groups indicated better linear relationship in smaller size groups. Condition factor (K) decreased significantly (p<0.05) with increasing weight. Growth of seabass in pond culture system was negatively allometric (b<3.0), and was found comparable with that of the natural population.Downloads
