TL;DR: Results for length-weight and length-length relationships of a freshwater fish Gudusia godanahiae from a fish pond of Sarochiya, Biratnagar, Nepal indicate that these are highly corrected and highly significant.
Abstract: Present study describes the length-weight (LWR) and length-length (LLR) relationships of a freshwater fish Gudusia godanahiae from a fish pond of Sarochiya, Biratnagar, Nepal. 91 specimens of G. godanahiae were collected from fisherman's catch from Nov 2008 to Oct 2009, were used for this study. The slope value (b) of the LWR are not so close to isometric growth, (b=2.9017). Results for LLR ( r 2 >0.9) P<0.001 indicate that these are highly corrected and highly significant. Key words: Gudusia godanahiae, length-weight, length-length, relationship DOI: 10.3126/on.v7i1.2575 Our Nature (2009) 7:218-221
TL;DR: In this article, an easy method has been employed for a possible separation of two populations ofGudusia chapra by means of their length-weight correlationship by the help of the test for the equality of the correlation coefficients.
Abstract: In racial studies of fish, previous workers mostly utilised the methods like D2 analysis, regression analysis and analysis of covariance, which require a heavy computational work. In the present communication, an easy method has been employed for a possible separation of two populations ofGudusia chapra by means of their length-weight correlationship by the help of the test for the equality of the correlation coefficients. By this method, the Keetham reservoir Gudusia could be statistically separated from the Ganga river Gudusia.
TL;DR: The identity of Gudusia suhia is established and it can be distinguished from G. chapra in having fewer anal fin rays and fewer lateral transverse scale rows.
Abstract: In the genus Gudusia, G. godanahiai and G. suhia are synonymised with G. chapra. Based on recent collections from India and Nepal we established the identity of Gudusia suhia and it can be distinguished from G. chapra in having fewer anal fin rays (22 vs. 24-26) and fewer lateral transverse scale rows (26 vs. 31-35).
