Abstract
The Length-weight relationship of Lepidocephalichthys guntea had been carried out from the Dikrong River Arunachal Pradesh during September 2016 to August 2017. The value of regression coefficient (b) for male, female and pooled was 2.85, 2.76 and 2.81 respectively. It reveals that males have slight better growth than females. However, both sexes signify a negative allometric growth pattern. The coefficient of correlation (r) shows more or less similar trend in males (r = 0.8056), females (r = 0.8492) and pooled (r = 0.7593). It indicates that there was a good correlation between length and weight of the fish. The overall average condition factor ‘K’ value of male was recorded as 9.15, for females (9.10) and for combined gender (9.12).
