Length weight relationship of the crucian carp, carassius carassius in relation to water quality, sex and season in some lentic water bodies of Kashmir Himalayas

Öz:
In order to assess the impact of water quality, sex and seasons on the length-weight relationship, we examined the exotic fish, Carassius carassius in three water bodies of Kashmir Himalayas. The b value was higher in lake having the lowest nutrient enrichment level, showing that water quality may influence the growth of a fish. The results showed positive allometric growth (b>3.0; heavy group) in Manasbal and Anchar Lakes and isometric growth of equal increment of both parameters of length and weight in the Dal Lake. The correlation between length-weight relationships showed significant (P<0.05) positive trend. Females showed b value more than males in two lakes (Anchar and Manasbal lakes), whereas bvalue was high in males (b = 2.8) in Dal Lake. Data showed significant (P<0.05) differences in b value between male and female sexes in two lakes and insignificant (P>0.05) relationship in Anchar Lake. Multiple comparisons also showed significant (P<0.05) differences in b values among different seasons in Dal Lake. In addition, b value showed significant (P<0.05) difference with some physico-chemical features in Dal lake. Finally, we concluded that length-weight relationship in case of Crucian carp showed significant variation in three lakes with respect to water quality, season and sex.
