Description |
The morphometric relationships, carapace length vs total length (CL vs TL), carapace length vs weight (CL vs W), total length vs weight (TL vs W), carapace length vs carapace width (CL vs CW), carapace length vs length of third walking leg (CL vs III WL) and carapace length vs width of second abdomen (CL vs II ASW) were estimated for the Scalloped spiny lobster Panulirus homarus homarus fished from east and west coast of Tamilnadu. A total of 462 males and 350 females were measured for the study. Carapace length of lobsters ranged from 20.4 mm to 101.0 mm CL. The power function y=axb was applied in all the relationships. The first derivative dY/dCL-abCLb-1 where Y is TL was used to study the growth tendency of TL in relation to CL. A negative allometry, b
