Abstract
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.
