Abstract

2 Abstract: The Present Study provides morphometric and meristic characteristics of Triplophysa marmorata from Kashmir valley which can be used for the management and conservation of this fish species in the Jhelum River of valley. By using different fishing gears a total of 45 samples were collected. The meristic characters of all the samples were D. III-7, A. III-5, P. I-9, V. I-7, C. 17. The total length ranged from 7.4-14 cm whereas, total weight of body ranged from 2- 19.3g. With the total length all other morphometric characters showed positive correlation and highest correlation was shown by fork length (0.99), whereas least correlation (0.44) was shown by distance from anal fin to caudal fin base (DACB). Correlation between head length and other head morphometric characters also showed positive correlation with snout length (SnL) showing maximum (0.87) and eye diameter (ED) minimum (0.49) correlation.
