Abstract

Lepidocephalus guntea, a foot hill-stream fish, was collected from the Khoh River in the Garhwal Himalaya for the present investigation, which examines the fish’s breeding capacity. 35 mature female fishes were included as the subject of the investigation. In fish measuring between 63 and 85 millimeters, the total breeding capacity was found to be between 321 and 4120. Fish weight (0.9862) and ovary length (0.9827), rather than other fish body parameters, were found to have a greater influence on breeding capacity.
