Morphometric and Meristic Characterization of the Primary Freshwater Fishes in Agra | Original Article

ABSTRACT:

The Yamuna River was sampled for 24 morphometric metrics and eight meristic count parameters for each fish species. There was a wide variation in length and weight for the Cyprnius carpio (14-18 cm), Mahseer (21–28 cm), Labeo rohita (20–26 cm), Xenontodon canceilia (17–25 cm), and other species throughout the research period. There is a larger growth rate shown by the regression coefficient 'b.' Although Xenontodon canceilia res was found to be the longest, it had the shortest pelvic fin length for standard length, whereas Cyprnius carpio was found to be the longest, with the shortest pelvic fin length for standard length.
