Abstract
Organisms generally increase in size (length, weight) during development. The key factors that influence the growth of fish are the quantity of food available, the number of fish utilizing same food source, temperature, oxygen and other water quality factors besides the size, age and sexual maturity of the fish. Every animal in its life exhibit growth both in length and in weight and the relationship between these two has both applied and basic importance. The length-weight relationship is one of the standard methods that yield authentic biological information and is of great importance in fishery assessments. It establishes the mathematical relationship between the two variables, length and weight, and helps in assessing the variations from the expected weight for the known length groups.
