This paper deals with the relative condition factor of cyprinid fish Salmostoma untrahi in Bhadra reservoir , Karnataka. The fish specimens were collected during the period July 1998 to June 2000 from two study sites - back water of Bhadra reservoir and a downstream stretch of Bhadra river, Karnataka. The total length and weight of both the sexes of fishes were recorded. The mean relative condition factor showed seasonal variation in both sexes. The mean relative condition factor value was found to be highest in June & August for male and January & June for female during first year and highest in March for both the sexes during second year of study. The condition of the fish were coincided with the maturation stage of the fish. |
