Overview

Randomized trial investigates growth dynamics in freshwater spiny eels, suggesting adaptation to local environments.

Key Points

  • This study aims to analyze the length-weight relationship and growth condition factor in three spiny eel species.
  • Collected 242 specimens of spiny eels from the Indo-Gangetic Plain between August 2023 and July 2024.
  • Used regression analysis to determine the length-weight relationship and condition factor of the species.
  • Conducted one-way ANCOVA to assess inter-specific and inter-riverine variations.
  • Length and weight showed a strong correlation (r² range 0.72-0.98) across all species.
  • Mastacembelus armatus and Macrognathus aculeatus exhibited isometric growth (b = 3) across rivers.
  • Macrognathus pancalus demonstrated positive allometric growth in Rivers Gomti and Ghaghara but isometric growth in River Ganga.
