  Morphological parameters comprising length-weight relationships (LWRs), sex ratio, condition factor (KF) and allometric growth of paradise threadfin, Polynemus paradiseus from the southern coast of Bangladesh were estimated. A total of 221 specimens were collected with the help of local fishermen ranging size 8.30-13.70 cm standard length (SL) and 11.64-50.67 g body weight (BW) during the period of January to October, 2104. The overall sex ratio of the samples did not reveal significant variation from the expected value of 1:1 (male: female=1:0.99, χ2=0.004, P < 0.05). Length-frequency distribution revealed a size predominance of males over females, where mean variation of males consistently exceeded that of females throughout the year. The allometric coefficient b of LWR significantly deviated from 3 indicating allometric growth in males and f.. View More»
