Description Harpadon nehereus (Hamilton, 1822), commercially known as Bombay duck and is locally named as 'Bumla' or 'Bombil'
along the western coast of India. The area between northern geographical coordinates of 18° and 22° N represents
intermittent fishery resources with discontinuous distribution, and the majority of the resources are caught by the 'dol net'.
The present study revealed information on 1523 specimens of Bombay duck, which were used for the analysis of lengthweight relationship (LWR), and condition factor (K) collected from various fishing villages of west coast of India during
September 2014 to November 2016. The results indicated that females bear longer and heavier body sizes than males. The
analysis of LWR shows exponent 'b' values of 3.03 for males indicating isometric growth and female (3.10) establish growth
as positive allometric (b > 3). A significant dissimilarity is observed in 'b' values among the seasons for Bombay duck (P
