Length-weight Relationship and Fecundity of Parastromateus niger from Gwadar Port Balochistan Province, Pakistan

Abstract

Background: Parastromateus niger, is one of the important fish species from economic point of view in Gwadar, Balochistan-Pakistan. This study was carried out to determine the growth and fecundity of Parastromateus niger. Methods: Growth of P. niger was determined by applying Le Cren formula while mean fecundity and relative fecundity of this fish was calculated by using equation of Yelden and Avsar. Result: Relationship between fish weight and ovary weight was found as 0.384 and 0.898 respectively in 1st and 2nd year of research. Annual mean fecundity of P. niger was calculated as 43165.4 eggs with relative fecundity of 73.7 in 2017-18 and annual mean fecundity in 2018-19 was 39759.5 eggs with 50.2 relative fecundity. Value of R2 in first year of research between fecundity and ovary weight was 0.751, for mean fecundity and relative fecundity was 0.545, in term of fecundity and total length of fish was 0.60 and for fish total weight and fecundity was 0.596. Value of R2 between fecundity and weight of ovary was 0.951, with mean fecundity and relative fecundity as 0.968, between fish fecundity and total length was 0.578 and in case of fecundity and total body weight was found 0.809 in second year of research period.

The Sino-Pak Strategic Partnership and India's Regional Aim in South Asia: An Analysis

“…In this linking, maintaining control of Gwadar guarantees shipping over the current routes. Additionally, it makes it easier to keep an eye on Indian navy operations, US naval operations in the Persian Gulf, and Indo-US maritime cooperation in the Indian Ocean (Siddique, 2023).…”

Length-weight Relationship and Condition Factors of Seven Penaeus Shrimp Species along the Southeast Coast of Tamil Nadu (Southern India)

“…Further differences are influenced by various circumstances, including food, stress brought on by crowding, or the reproductive cycle (Oyebamiji et al, 2008). The current study aims to add and complement already-existing knowledge about the shrimp growth pattern (Siddique et al, 2022). To manage shrimp resources sustainably and also give relevant information on the length-length, length-weight connection (growth patterns) and condition factor on shrimps caught in coastal waters from the southeast coast of Tamil Nadu (Suryanti et al, 2018;Olawusi et al, 2014).…”

Studies on the Prevalence Rate of Neoplastic Growth in Fish Johniuss Dussumieri (Valenciennes, 1833) of Karachi Coast Due to Polluted Sea Environment

“…Furthermore, Vandana et al (2021) reported on hepatic microsporidiosis in brackish water fish, highlighting the presence of parasites in marine environments and their implications for fish health (9). Mehar et al (2022) expanded this understanding by observing the levels of heavy metals in fish tissues from the Karachi and Gwadar coasts of Pakistan, concluding that the Karachi environment was more polluted due to industrial activities and heavy sea traffic (10,11). The integration of these studies paints a comprehensive picture of the challenges facing marine ecosystems, particularly in the context of pollution and its impact on fish health (12,13).…”
