A Comparative Morphometric Study of Indian Major Carps

Key Points

Catla demonstrated the highest weight gain among the Indian major carps, indicating its potential for effective aquaculture.
The study identified a strong positive correlation between total length and various morphometric traits, enhancing growth understanding.
Mrigal's superior linear growth underscores the importance of species-specific traits in optimizing aquaculture productivity.
Findings emphasize the role of morphometric analysis in improving broodstock selection and overall aquaculture management.

Abstract

Amid growing demands for sustainable aquaculture, understanding species-specific growth patterns is essential for maximizing productivity. The findings revealed that Catla exhibited the highest weight gain, Mrigal showed superior linear growth, and Rohu demonstrated moderate overall performance. A significant positive correlation was observed between total length and other morphometric traits. These results highlight the value of species-specific selection for polyculture systems and emphasize the role of morphometric analysis in broodstock selection and aquaculture enhancement.
