ABSTRACT

The length-weight relationship and condition factor of the endemic curmuca barb, Puntius curmuca of Pampa river, Kerala was calculated to assess the significance of allometric factor and the well being. The study was carried out using a total of 200 specimens ranging in total length from 10 to 19.5 cm and in total weight from 12 to 49 g comprised of 128 mature males, 24 mature females and 48 immature fishes. The length-weight relationship calculated for the total fishes was W = 0.00019 L2.637. The slope value was significantly lower than the critical isometric value of 3 exhibiting negative allometic growth in all categories analyzed. The condition factor of Puntius curmuca varied from 0.57 to 1.31 with a mean value of 0.95 implicating that the fishes are not in a good condition in the environment. The proportion females in the population are alarmingly low in the river.

Keywords: Length-weight relationship, Condition factor, Puntius curmuca.
