“…The b value of B. bendelisis in the present study (2.961) was higher than reported by Mir et al. (,b) from the Kosi River (2.831) and the Alaknanda River (2.84), respectively. Moreover, a slightly higher value of b in the present investigation as compared to the Bayesian LWR approach ( B. bendelisis , 2.94) was observed.…”

This paper provides length-weight relationships (LWRs) for four freshwater cyprinid fish species, namely Barilius bendelisis (Hamilton, 1807), Bangana dero (Hamilton, 1807), Chagunius chagunio (Hamilton, 1807) and Labeo dyocheilus (McClelland, 1839) from the Kosi River, a tributary of the River Ganga in northern India. Altogether 848 specimens were caught bimonthly (for B. bendelisis) and quarterly for the other three species between March 2013 and December 2014 using cast nets (9 m length, 9 m width and 1/2 cm mesh size). LWRs for two of the four species (B. dero and C. chagunio) are recorded for the first time. The present study results will be useful for fishery researchers, management and conservation in this least-explored tributary of the Ganga River Basin.

“…LWR study on B. bendelisis by Mir et al. () from Garhwal Himalaya, India ( b = 2.84 for 352 specimens) as well as by Hussain, Das, Kaushik, and Bordoloi () from Basistha River in Assam, India ( b = 3.21) varied from the present study. Such variations in the ‘ b ’ value may be due to the length ranges used, habitat, maturity of gonad, sex, study season, fullness of gut, methods of preservation and annual differences in the environmental conditions (Li, Xu, & Huang, ).…”

Summary The present study describes the length–weight relationships (LWRs) for three ornamental hill stream fish species from the Manas River in Assam, India, namely, Barilius bendelisis (Hamilton, 1807), Barilius shacra (Hamilton, 1822), and Barilius barna (Hamilton, 1822). Fishes were collected on a monthly basis from March 2015 to February 2016 with cast nets (270 cm, 1.2 cm) and gillnets (7,500 × 130 cm, 5 cm). This is the first information on LWR data for two of the species.

“…Such deviation from cube law is reported by several authors in variety of fishes such as Barilius bendelisis (Gairola, Singh, Malhotra, Nanda, & Ghildiyal, 1990), major carps (Jhingran, 1952), Labeo calbasu (Rao & Rao, 1972), Labeo fimbriatus (Rao, 1974), Indian major carps (Mohan & Sankaran, 1988) and Pangasius pangasius (Deepak, Sarkar, & Negi 2002). Mir, Patiyal, & Sharma (2015) reported growth regression coefficient less than 3 in Barilius bendelisis (b= 2.84) and Barilius vagra (b= 2.97) from spring fed stream of Garhwal Himalayas. In case of Barilius bendelisis, the b value was more or less similar for both sexes, and was marginally higher in case of males, indicating that males were comparatively heavier than the females Note: Ns = non-significant (p > 0.05); S = significant (p < 0.05).…”

“…However, several authors (Dobriyal & Singh, 1987;Gairola, Singh, Malhotra, Nanda, & Ghildiyal, 1990;Mir, Patiyal, & Sharma, 2015) have done a brief study of the biological aspect from Garhwal region of Uttarakhand, India.…”

“…Therefore, it is important to collect all the pre-requisite information on the growth and reproduction of this species as a tool for stock assessment, in order to meet the need of sustainable management of its fisheries, and to reduce the pressure on natural resources. Although the reproductive biology and length-weight analysis of B. bendelisis has been described by few authors (Dobriyal & Singh, 1987;Gairola, Singh, Malhotra, Nanda, & Ghildiyal, 1990;Grower, 1971;Mir, Patiyal, & Sharma, 2015) but unfortunately, no studies on population dynamics have been reported for this species from river Gaula, Central Himalayans region, India. Therefore, the present investigation was taken up to assess the population dynamics and the reproductive biology of B. bendelisis in the river Gaula, Central Himalayans region, India.…”

Abstract:The Indian hill trout cyprinid, Barilius bendelisis is a member of family Cyprinidae that dwells in shallow, cold, and clear water. In this study, growth parameters and reproductive biology of Indian hill trout, Barilius bendelisis from river Gaula, Central Himalaya region, India, were studied. The length-frequency data were grouped sex wise and were analyzed to determine the growth and mortality parameters using the computer software programme, FAO-ICLARM Stock Assessment Tool (FISAT II). Altogether, 501 individuals were collected from river Gaula (November 2013-October 2014) and were preserved in formalin for further analysis. The results showed that the female outnumbered the male population. The minimum GSI of females was observed in the month of October (4.93 ± 0.26) and for males in the month of June and July (0.093 ± 0.12), whereas, the maximum value was in the month of April for both females (13.47 ± 0.52) and males (1.21 ± 0.12). Fluctuation in GSI values had a bimodal pattern showing two peaks during March-May and August-September in both the sexes, indicating the common spawning period of fish. The slope of regression showed the negative allometric growth for both males and females (b= 2.65 for male and b= 2.5 for female). A significant relationship between length and weight was observed in the present study (p < 0.05). The ELEFAN-I estimated L∞ and K of the von Bertalanffy growth factor for males (17.33 cm and 0.310 per year), females (17.33 cm and 0.3 per year) and pooled sexes (17.33 cm and 0.240 per year). The results indicated that Barilius bendelisis is a small sized fish having negative allometric growth that spawns twice a year. Thus, the present study on biological traits represents the baseline information for effective production, conservation and restoration planning. Rev. Biol. Trop. 64 (3): 1287-1295. Epub 2016 September 01.Key words: Barilius bendelisis, sex ratio, gonadosomatic index, river Gaula, India.The Indian hill trout cyprinid, Barilius bendelisis (Hamilton) is a member of family Cyprinidae, subfamily Danioninae, dwells in shallow, cold and clear water (Gurung et al., 2005). It is characterized by the pointed head, compressed body, blue/black vertical bands on the lateral side of body and origin of dorsal fin inserted behind the mid of the body (Talwar & Jhingran, 1991). This fish is an upland water fish, found in several countries of Southeast Asia such as India, Bangladesh, Nepal (Talwar & Jhingran, 1991), Myanmar, Pakistan, Thailand and Srilanka (Eschmeyer & Fricke, 2011). In India, this species is commonly distributed in Ganga and Brahmaputra drainages along the Himalayan foothills. Barilius bendelisis plays a considerable role in the capture fishery of the Himalayan parts of Arunachal Pradesh, inhabiting in lentic and lotic water bodies where other carps cannot be raised successfully (Sahoo, Saikia, & Das, 2009).Growth parameters are crucial for sustainable use and exploitation of aquatic macrofauna and their management (Yakub, 2010). Therefore, understanding the p...
