Some population parameters of bengal yellowfin seabream, acanthopagrus longispinnis (Val.), from hatiya island, bay of bengal

Abstract

Size frequency, length-weight relationships (LWRs), length-length relationships (LLRs), and relative condition factor (Kn) was studied in an estuarine fish the Bengal yellowfin seabream, Acanthopagrus longispinnis (Val.), from Hatiya Island in the Meghna River estuary. Specimens were caught with fixed purse nets of two mesh sizes (0.2 to 0.5 inch and 2.0 to 2.5 inch) from January to March 2020. The total body length of A. longispinnis ranged between 5.8 and 9.3 cm throughout the sampling period. The length-weight relationships for A. longispinnis was highly significant (p
