Abstract

The present study on growth rate of different body pa~ts in relation to
total length, in the male and female Puntius sara.na (Ham.) did not show any
significant heterogeneity except in snout length (p.Ol). The growth rate of
snout length was found to be higher in females (b~0.0377) than in males
(b=0.0266). Since the growth rate of most of the body parts was found to be
homogeneous in both the sexes, the common regression co-efficient ''b" were
calculated on pooled data to represent the growth rate of different body
parts against total length, The linearity of regression lines indicated isomertirc
growth.
