Resumen
Size frequency, length-weight relationships (LWRs), and length-length relationships (LLRs) for an estuarine fish Taenioides cirratus (Blyth, 1860) from the Noakhali coast, Bay of Bengal was studied. Specimens were caught with the fixed purse net of two mesh sizes (0.2 to 0.5 in. and 2.0 to 2.5 in.) from March to July 2019. The maximum total length for male T. cirratus (36.2 cm) reported in this study is a new record for this species. The length-weight relationships for male, female, and unsexed T. cirratus was highly significant (p < .001), and adjusted r2 values were 0.967, 0.922 and 0.955 for males, females, and unsexed, respectively. The calculated growth coefficient (b) for male, female, and unsexed T. cirratus was 2.546, 2.948, and 2.618, respectively. The length-length eq. TL = 1.1974 SL + 0.4403 for the males and TL = 1.1712 SL + 0.7096 for the females were highly significant (p = 0.001, r2 ≥ 0.978 for both males and females). Our estimated LWRs and LLRs parameters for male and female T. cirratus can be useful for the management and conservation purpose of this species.
