Fishes were caught using Cast nets, Gill nets, Drag nets with mesh size of 15–20 mm, 25–30 mm and 5–10 mm respectively along with Traps. Sampling was done during dry and wet seasons and a total of 682 fish were collected for analysis of their Length–Weight Relationships ( LWR s). Analyses included seven species for which no previous LWR s information were available in FishBase, and new maximum lengths were recorded for three species.
