Author(s): Nandikeswari R, Sambasivam M
Abstract: The present study investigates the length-weight relationship of
Terapon puta from Puducherry (East coast of India). A total of 485 individuals of different sizes were collected from Puducherry landings centre. Length-weight relationships were calculated for all fish samples. The length weight relationship equations are W = 0.1313 L
1.9890 ; W = 0.5091 L
1.5078 ;
W=0.6090 L
1.4752 ; W = 0.1332 L
2.0543; W = 0.1207 L
2.0246; W = 0.0841 L
2.2074 for immature male, immature female, matured male, matured female, total male and total female respectively. The growth exponential (b) values were found to be negatively allometric for all the stages.
