Description The growth rate of a species in any aquatic environment is an indicator of
the water quality of the system. In the current study, the Length-weight
relationship (LWR) and the condition factor of Dawkinsia filamentosa from
various aquatic ecosystems especially lotic, lentic and brackish lentic
systems were compared. It was observed that growth rate of the fish was
more in brackish lentic systems. The study showed that already reported
growth rate (b) of the species in brackish lentic systems is around 3.273
indicating proximity towards the isometric growth pattern as compared to
the growth rate in reservoirs (2.3184) and that in lentic systems
(3.116) obtained from present study. Similar studies supplemented with
environmental variables can be used to study the health status of the
ecosystem. The best system suitable for the adaptive growth of the
species can be ascertained only after a holistic approach involving
environmental variables.
