STUDIES ON THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN STANDARD LENGTH AND WHOLE RETINA OF THREE FRESHWATER FISHES TER FISHES
Keywords:
Freshwater fish, Correlation, Whole retina, Standard lengthAbstract
A comparative evaluation between different standard length (SL) and whole retina (WR) in three fresh water air
breathing fishes namely A. cuchia, C. fasciatus and C. batrachus was done. A negative allometric relationship
between two parameters was established in A. cuchia and C. fasciatus but in C. batrachus a positive correlation
was observed. However, after attains a critical point of growth, the growth of retina in C. batrachus was of retina
stopped and thereafter differential growth in SL and WR of the fish were observed.
