“…In our study, the observed maximum length of C. soborna was 5.0 cm TL irrespective of sex, which is higher than the reported value of (i) 2.70 cm (Sultana, 2012) from the Ganges River, Bangladesh (ii) 4.99 cm (Hossain et al, 2008) from the Mathabhanga River, Bangladesh (iii) 3.80 cm (Kamal, 1982) from the Ganga River, India, but lower than the maximum recorded length (TL= 5.3 cm) reported by Hossain et al (2017a) from the Ganges River, NW Bangladesh. Information on maximum length is crucial for the estimation of asymptotic length and growth coefficient of fishes, as required for planning and management of fisheries resources (Hossain et al, 2012a(Hossain et al, , 2017d(Hossain et al, , 2018Hossen et al, 2018;Khatun et al, 2019a).…”
