About the Cover

The objective of present study was to determine the growth and condition of Indian major carps (Catla catla, Labeo rohita, and Cirrhinus mrigala) reared in a saline water earthen pond. The fish specimens and water samples were collected during April to June 2024. The morphometric measurements like total length, standard length, and weight were taken from 260 fish specimens and were used for growth and condition estimation. In contrast, water samples were used to analyse the critical water quality parameters, including temperature, pH, salinity, dissolved oxygen, nitrate-N, nitrite- N, ammonical-N, and total hardness, to assess the conduciveness of the aquatic environment of the studied pond. The range and mean values of total length 19.00- 49.50 cm (29.61±1.11), 8.00-45.00 cm (24.97±0.55), and 20.40-40.50 cm (26.70±0.58), standard length 15.50-40.00 cm (23.73±0.88), 14.50-39.50 cm (20.28±0.46) and 15.50- 34.00 (21.80±0.47) and weight 94.00-1953.00 g (480.26±64.69), 60.00-759.00 g (206.04±15.77) and 77.00-688.00 (223.96±17.79) were observed for the studied fish catla, rohu and mrigal respectively.
