A study on length-weight relationship and condition factor of Alburnus mossulensis in Hamzeh-Ali Region from Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province, Iran
Abstract
The present study was conducted to analyze the Length-Weight relationship (LWR) and Condition Factor of the Alburnus mossulensis in Hamzeh-Ali Region from Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province. For this purpose, 40 specimens of A. mossulensis were sampled in Hamzeh-Ali Region. Fish were digitally weighted at 0.01g and the total length was obtained using ImageJ software to the nearest 0.1 mm. The total length of fish was 19.2-74.1 mm and weight range was 0.05-2.93 g. The LWR was highly significant (P< 0.01) for A. mossulensis with R 2 value =0.98. In this study, the mean value of ‘b’ was 3.09. Length-weight relationship indicated positive allometric growth for A. mossulensis. Also, the mean condition factor was 0.71. This study will contribute to the knowledge on fishery resources in HamzehAli Region from Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province.
