Length-Weight Relationship and Condition Factor of African Big Barb <i>Labeobarbus intermedius</i> (Ruppell, 1836) in Ethiopian Freshwater Bodies: A Review
Abstract:The investigations on length-weight relationship and condition factor of the African big barb Labeobarbus intermedius (Rüppell, 1836) in Ethiopian water bodies have shown varied pattern including nearly isometric (b ≈ 3), negative (b < 3) and positive (b > 3) allometric. The Fulton condition factor (K) of L. intermedius is high (1.73) in Lake Ziway, however, declined in most rivers and lakes and also exhibits seasonal variation. Fish had a better body condition (2.73) during wet season in Angereb and Sanja Ri… Show more
