Notes on Length-Weight Relationship and Condition Factor of Fresh Water Fish, Labeo boga (Hamilton) (Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae)

Abstract

The length-weight relationship is very important for proper exploitation and management of the population of fish species. To obtain the relationship between total length and other body weight are also very much essential for stabilizing the taxonomic characters of the species. Among the freshwater fishes, length-weight relationship of different fishes has been done by many researchers, viz., Tilapia mosambica (Dhoa & Dewan, 1967), Puntius stigma (Islam & Hossain, 1991-92), Alia coila (Alam et al., 1994), Chanda nama and Chanda ranga (Iqbal et al., 199596), Botia lohachata (Mortuza & Mokarrama 2000), Rhinomugil corsula (Mortuza & Tawfeequa, 2006).
