    (Society of Fisheries Technologists (India)Cochin, 2014) Bedajit, Yumnam; Chakraborty, Sushant Kumar; Motilan, Yurembam; Vishwanath, Waikhom; Deshmukhe, Geetanjali; Jaiswar, Ashok Kumar
    In the present study, it has been observed that the highest condition factor was found at 30-40 mm length group, which is very near the length at first maturity of around 30 mm. Similar results was obtained by Masud & Singh (2011). The fluctuations in the condition factor in different length group might be associated with cyclic physiological process by showing repeated development of gonads and shedding of mature ova (spawning) respectively during the life of the fish and it has been observed in Gudusia chapra by Masud & Singh (2011). Findings of the present study will be useful in stock assessment and conservation of Osteobrama cunma.
