- Abstract
The present study analysed the length–weight relationships (LWRs) and form factor (a3.0) of Pannaheterolepis Trewavas, 1977 from the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh. A total of 316 specimens were sampled during the pre‐monsoon (n = 96), monsoon (n = 116) and post‐monsoon (n = 104) season (March 2018–February 2019) using a Seine bag net. Individual total length (TL) and body weight (BW) were measured with a measuring board and digital weight balance, respectively. The TL vs. BW relationship indicated a negative allometric growth for P. heterolepis. The present study also provides LWR, a3.0 (0.0070) and a new maximum recorded size (29.50 cm TL and 24.50 cm SL) of P. heterolepis for the first time, data currently lacking in the FishBase online database. The results of the present study will be helpful for stock assessment and management of this fish in the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh and neighbouring countries.
