“…It is also worthy of note that full development of digestive system can be linked to the 'K' factor. Kund et al (2011) [44] reported that condition factor of smaller fishes are higher when compared to the large ones due to their edacious feeding nature. Bakare (1970) and Fagade (1979) [42] postulated that the condition factor relatively reduces due to the gradual increase in length.…”

Length-weight relationship (LWR), condition factor (k) of the black chin tilapia, Sarotherodon melanotheron (Rüppel, 1852) from Forcados River estuary Nigeria was investigated. The fish were collected monthly from fishermen for a period of 24 months (between April 2012 and March 2014). 699 specimens of the fish species were collected. The Length-weight relationship (LWR) of the fish was evaluated using the equation: W = a Lb while the condition factor of the fish was determined using the equation; K = 100W Lb . The standard length of sampled S. melanotheron ranged from 4.15 to 18.92 cm, total length 6.01 and 22.5 cm while the weight ranged from 7.85 - 286.71 g. The b value 2.1299 was less than 3 indicating that the growth pattern of the fish was allometric. The correlation co-efficient (r) value for S. melanotheron was 0.7528. The condition factor for the combined sexes fluctuated monthly. The length-weight relationships and condition factor of S. melanotheron in Forcados river estuary indicated that the fish were above average condition.

“…This is because previous studies on Indian species of mullets were mainly based on conventional taxonomy, and identification was mainly based on the personal perceptions of authors. Since the 1950s, most authors who working on mullet taxonomy have (i) provided conflicting opinions and statements regarding the morphology and meristics of the various "species" recorded from India (See Supplementary Table S3), (ii) used diagnostic characters that have subsequently been proved as unreliable for identi-fication (e.g., those that change during ontogenic development-adipose eyelids, types of scales, mandibular angle, third anal fin spine) [22,67], and (iii) erroneously assigned species to various genera [18,22,35,[68][69][70][71], without proper justification.…”

Fishes of the Mugilidae family are poorly known from a taxonomic perspective, largely because of their conservative morphology. In this paper, we aim to fill the knowledge gap and data deficiency regarding the genetic diversity of mullets occurring in southern peninsular India. A comprehensive mitochondrial phylogeny based on 238 COI sequences (78 newly generated) and three species delimitation methods (ASAP, RESL, and ABGD) confirmed the presence of 21 species of mullets within eight genera in southern peninsular India. These include one species each under the genera Rhinomugil Gill 1863, Minimugil Durand, Chen, Shen, Fu, and Borsa, 2012, Plicomugil Schultz 1953, and Ellochelon Whitley 1930; seven species of Planiliza Whitley 1945; four species of Crenimugil Schultz 1946; four species of Osteomugil Luther 1982; and two species of the “Mugil cephalus Linnaeus 1758” complex—though with uncertainty regarding the exact geographic origin of one of the two species of the “Mugil cephalus” complex and one species phylogenetically close to Planiliza subviridis (Valenciennes 1836). We provide an overview of the specific geographical regions in southern peninsular India, and “species groups”, which require future research using an integrative approach, so as to unravel the true extent of mullet diversity and their distribution in the region.

“…A number of reports on LWR of fishes from Chilika have already been published (Panda et al 2016, Karna 2017, 2018a, 2018b, 2018c, but information for several taxa are still lacking. Here, we report LWR of 37 fish species from Chilika Lagoon in India.…”
