Abstract

A study was carried out on Chambai dam fishes locally named Rohu, Silver carp and Catla (Labeorohita, Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, Catla catla). During the month of May 2016 to September 2016. 50 Fishes per species sample were collected from Chambai dam district Karak, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Length weight relationship shows a wide variation in results for Labeorohita, Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, Catla catla average length 30.48cm, 17.78cm, 10.16cm and the average weight were 160g, 26g and 15g respectively. The weight-length relationship of Labeorohita, Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, Catla catla could be considered as very useful in fisheries research, fish biology and ecology.
