Length-weight relationship of brackish water finfish Thryssa kammalensoides Wongratana, 1983 from Chilika Lagoon, India

摘要

The length-weight relationship (LWR) of brackish water finfish Thryssa kammalensoides Wongratana, 1983 is reported for the first time during the study. Specimens (n = 862) were caught with the help of local fisherman from Chilika lagoon, east coast of India during monsoon (September-October, 2018) and postmonsoon (November, 2018-January, 2019). The maximum total length recorded in this study is the new record for the species. The data revealed that LWR of T. kammalensoides of Chilika shows a significant LWR during monsoon (r(2) = 0.872) whereas moderate (r(2) = 0.470) during post-monsoon.
