ABSTRACT

 

Article No.: 092221092

Type: Research

 

Present study was carried out length weight relationship for 12 freshwater fish species belonging to 9 families in Sunye lake, Mandalay region, Myanmar, of which two were introduced and ten were native species. Total sample 1177 were collected for length weight relationship, during October 2016 - October 2017. Range of estimated b values between 2.767-3.257 and coefficient of determination R2 varies range between 0.987-0.860. Six species were isometric, two were positive allometric and four were negative allometric. Fish is the one of the biological indicators of lake ecosystem health, thus our study provides useful information to maintain fishery resources for present and future generations and to maintain lake ecosystems in healthy.
