Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The study was carried out the morphometric relationships of wild Puntius sophore. All the specimens collected for the study were ranged from 7.2 to 10.6 cm in total length and from 5 to 17g in total weight. The relationships between different length parameters and length-weight were found highly significant with all “r” values ranged from 0.898 to 0.964. The regression equation of wild P. sophore showed symmetrical growth in relation to body. The values of the LLR equations clearly revealed that the lengths of the body parts are proportional to the total length. The result will be useful for fishery managers to impose adequate regulations for sustainable fishery management of Bangladesh neighboring countries.

Keywords: Morphometry, Pool barb, Puntius sophore, Padma river, Bangladesh

Location: RAJSHAHI

Start Date: 00-01-2010

End Date: 00-06-2010

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Aquatic animal

Objectives:

To know the morphometric relationships of wild Puntius sophore.

Methodology:

A total 70 specimens were collected from the different fishing areas of the Padma river adjacent Rajshahi city, Bangladesh. Sampling was done fortnightly during day time for a period of six months (January to June 2010). After collection the specimens were washed well, confirmed to the species level and then tagged and preserved by date in plastic jars with 10% formalin to save from spoilage. Total length (TL), standard length (SL), dorsal length (DL), pectoral length (P₁L), pelvic length (P2L), anal length (AL) were measured with a slide calipers. Body weight (BW) was weighted by a digital balance to the nearest 0.01g. The relationships among all body parameters were calculated.
