Description 104-107
Length-weight relationship (LWR) was estimated for
Amblygaster indiana from Eraviputhenthurai, south-west coast of
India. The fish samples were collected from March 2018 to
February 2019 from the fish landing centres and fish markets of
Eraviputhenthurai, Kanyakumari district of Tamil Nadu.
Altogether, 82 specimens were collected from gill nets and shore
seines during the period. The value of parameter b in the equation
of LWR was estimated to be 3.36 and provides the first estimate
of LWR for A. indiana. The value of the condition factor K (1.15)
and relative condition factor Kn (1.003) in the present study
indicates that the fish is in good condition in terms of health,
growth, physical, and biological environmental conditions and
there seems to be no adverse factor for A. indiana in its current
habitat. The current study is also one of the first documented
reports on the biological aspects of A. indiana and will be helpful
for future research, conservation and sustainable management of
the species.
