Length‐weight relationship of two Ambassid fish species, Parambassis dayi (Bleeker, 1874) and Parambassis thomassi (Day, 1870) from River Pamba, Southern Western Ghats, India

Summary The present study provides the length‐weight relationships ( LWR s) of two Ambassid fish species, Parambassis dayi (Bleeker, 1874) and Parambassis thomassi (Day, 1870) from River Pamba in Southern Western Ghats, India. Fishes were collected on a monthly basis between April 2014 to March 2015 using gill nets (1.0–3.0 cm), cast nets (1.0–2.0 cm) and seine nets (1.0 cm). The b values in the LWR s were estimated as 3.01 for P. dayi and 3.14 for P. thomassi . No previous information is available on LWR s for these two species in FishBase.
