Abstract

Oreochromis mossambicus (Peters), a common freshwater fish of Bhima
river, has high economic value and considerable fiShery importance. The lengthweight
relationship in the logarithmic way for this fish can be written as:
Log W =- 4.50241627 + 2.884822741log L. This is dose to the cubic law
indicating the isometric growth of the fish in its natural habitat. The correlation
coefficient (r) was found to be 0.9865 which showed a good relationship between
the two parameters. The mean relative condition factor (K) was 1.00
suggesting the wen being of the fish.
Keywords : Oreochromis mossambicus, length-weight relationships, relative
