Description 805-814
Length-weight
relationship, morphometric and meristic characters of oil sardine Sardinella
longiceps Valenceinnes, 1847 from Ratnagiri waters off Maharashtra, India
were investigated by studying 917 specimens (368 males, 404 females and 145
indeterminates). Fourteen morphometric characters studied exhibited high level
of interdependence (r= 0.81 to 0.99). Based on the studies conducted on
meristic characters, the fin formula of S. longiceps can be written as
B5-7 P14-16

V8-9 D14-18
C16-24 A11-17. Length-weight relationship was established
as W = 0.000066L2.604 for males, W = 0.000056L2.638 for
females and W = 0.000054L2.645 for pooled data, indicating negative
allometric growth in S. longiceps. Coefficient of correlation (r) for
the length-weight relationship was estimated at 0.721, 0.739 and 0.740 for the
males, females and pooled data respectively.
