Abstract
The length-weight relationship of Priacanthus hamrur was estimated and given by the
equations. Males W = 0.00000638 L31133 and Female W = 0.00000811 L3 685. The b value
showed significant difference between males and females. The b value computed for female
did not show significant variation for the isometric value of 3 whereas in male the departure
was found significant. In male and female the Kn value steadily increased up to about
100 mm and remained almost static up to about 150 mm and thereafter showed fluctuation.
The seasonal change taking place in Kn value mainly indicate that in P. hamrur it is greatly
influenced by feeding intensity rather than the cyclic change taking place in the gonads.
