“…The magur hatchlings size was 0.4-0.5 cm length and 0.002-0.003 g weight (Sahoo et al, 2016). The newly hatched C. batrachus had 0.41 cm in length and 0.003 g in weight which produced through pituitary and synthetic hormonal (ovaprim) injection (Dhara & Saha, 2013), but another study reported that it has length of 0.52 cm and weight of 0.0023 g (Sahoo et al, 2004). Another catfish of the same genus, African catfish, C. gariepinus, hatchling has similar body length (0.4 cm) and weight (0.0015 g) (Delince, Campbell, Janssen, & Kutty, ), but the yellowtail catfish, Pangasius pangasius, hatchlings had lower length (0.3-0.45 cm) and weight (0.0008-0.0011 g) (Ferosekhan, Sahoo, Giri, Saha, & Paramanik, 2015).…”
