ABSTRACT

Measurements of the length and weight of five dominating species were taken at Nurri Lake in Badin, Sindh, Pakistan from July 2018 to June 2019. A total of 1101 specimens were examined. There were 255 Liza subviridis, with lengths and weights varying from 4.3 to 16.8 cm and 2.6 to 45.68g, respectively. Mugilcephalus was 205 and ranged in size from 7.4 to 27.46 cm and 8.7 to 213.29g. Aulopaereaocellata was 246 and varied in size from 5.5 to 319.2 g and 4.7 to 27.0 cm in length. Acanthopagrus latus had a total population of 185 individuals, measuring 3.2-20.2 cm in length and 3.56-168.86 g in weight. Arius thalassinus was 210 and ranged in length and weight from 5.4 to 19.8 cm and 4.32 to 88.9 g, respectively. In comparison to the other four dominating species from Nurri Lake, District Badin, Sindh, Liza subviridis, Aulopaereiaocellata, Acanthopagrus latus, and Arius thalasinus species, it was determined that the Mugilcephalus was extremely close to being in optimum condition (b =2.92 and r2 = 0.98). The length-weight analysis values and the coefficient of condition showed that the growth of the five dominant species from Nurri Lake, District Badin, Sindh, Pakistan, was nearly ideal and satisfactory. The relative condition factor (Kn) was found to be fluctuating between 0.98 and 1.01 in all five dominant species. Results indicated that the values of length-weight and coefficient of condition analysis were ideal and growth of five dominant species was satisfactory from Nurri Lake District Badin, Sindh, Pakistan.
