Abstract

The length-weight relationship of 110 fishes including 52 males and 58 females from the snowfed River Yamuna in Uttarakhand, India, was investigated in the present study. The value of “b” ranged between 1.016 and 1.089. The length-weight relationship parameters of Noemacheilus montanus showed low positive allometric growth, with a ‘b’ value of 1.016 for males and 1.089 for females for the fish length from the snow-fed River Yamuna. During this study the regression coefficient (b) value i.e. 1.089 for females is observed to be slightly higher when compared to that of males (1.016).
