Abstract

The total 200 specimens of Catla catla and Cirrhinus mrigla were worked out during the two year study periods, from Dejla Dewada reservoir of Khargone district. Total length and body weight were estimated. The correlation coefficient (“r”) and ponder index (“Kn”) have also been computed. The result showed the growth of two IMC is satisfactory. The value of exponent ‘n’ in the equation W=cLn were 1.9416 and 1.4798 for Catla catla and Cirrhinus mrigla. The relative condition factor (“Kn”) remained greater than one fir both IMC indicating their good well being.
