Fecundity of the freshwater fish Channa punctatus (Bloch) from three aquatic bodies. Journal of Environmental Biology. 2002 Oct; 23(4): 429-32http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/113932The fecundity studies on Channa punctatus revealed that there is a relationship between length of the fish with fecundity, weight of the fish and ovary with fecundity. The length and fecundity exhibit curvilinear relationship and a straight line relationship is observed between fecundity and body weight. Fecundity and ovary weight also exhibited linear relationship. The comparative degree of fecundity of the fish is Jagat tank > Kadaganchi tank > Kagina river. Although fish collected from Jagat tank exhibits higher fecundity, all the other three aquatic bodies provide proper environmental conditions for the growth and reproductive activity of the fish.engAnimalsBody ConstitutionBody WeightEnvironmentFemaleFertilityOvary --physiologyPerciformes --growth & developmentWater Pollutants --adverse effectsJournal Article
