LENGTH-WEIGHT RELATIONSHIP AND CONDITION FACTOR OF BOTIA LOHACHATA (CHAUDHURI, 1912) FOUND IN KIRTHAR MOUNTAIN REGION, SINDH-PAKISTAN
Abstract
In the present study the length-weight relationship (LWR) and condition factors (k and kn) of Botia lohachata species had been investigated and explicated with exacting reference to the growth position and condition factor in hill stream. The specimens were collected from the Ranikot stream of Kirthar mountain region. Four (04) morphometric traits of 28 individuals were analyzed in present study. The mean total length and weight was observed 13.913±3.961 cm and 8.138±2.137g, respectively. The correlation of LWR was found significantly (p
