Length-Weight Relationships of Some Economic Fishes of Ibeshe Waterside, Lagos Lagoon, Nigeria
Author(s): Josef Bamidele Bolarinwa and Popoola QJosef Bamidele Bolarinwa and Popoola Q
This study describes the length-weight relationships (LWR) and condition factor (K) of six (6) fish species of ecological and economic importance found in Ibeshe waterside area of Lagos lagoon, Nigeria. A total of 154 specimens of Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus , Pomadasy jubelini, Elops lacerta, Cynoglossus senegalensis, Polydactylus quadrifilis and Sphraena piscatorium were collected from the local fishermen during the late rainy period for three months (August 2012 to October 2012) and their total lengths (TL) and weights(W) recorded. A high positive correlation significant at 0.01 levels (2-tailed) exists between the weight and total length of each fish using Pearson’s correlation coefficient (+0.90 to +0.98). The values of constants’ a’ and’ b’ were determined from the length and weight data when transformed into the growth equation: log W=log a+ blog T.. View More»
