Title Length-weight relationship in the
oil-sardine, Sardinella longiceps Val.
 
Creator Antony Raja, B T
 
Subject Fishery biology
Oil sardine
 
Description The study of the length-weight relationship in fishes by fishery biologists has
been mainly directed towards two objectives, namely, to provide a mathematical
relationship between the two measurements as a means of interconversion and secondly,
to calculate the 'condition factor' (Le Cren, 1951). In a species of commercial importance,
the former object has been found essential to convert the catch statistics of
that species, from weight to numbers in order to obtain the abundance of stock in
space and time. However, the question that has to be answered first for both the
above objects is whether a single equation will suffice or separate equations are
required to describe the relationship between length and weight at various times of the
year and phases of life history.
