Assessing the sustainability of lepidophagous catfish, Pachypterus khavalchor (Kulkarni, 1952), from a tropical river Panchaganga, Maharashtra, India

Abstract: Background: The Western Ghats of India, one of the global biodiversity hotspots and freshwater eco-regions, harbors several fish species which not just form the important part of the world's freshwater biodiversity yet in addition are the vital segment of livelihood of the neighborhood population. The rate of fish decline in the Western Ghats is alarming. The absence of organized study and data scarcity on basic biology and life history traits of several species could be one reason behind the decline, and thus… Show more

“…Nevertheless, the growth pattern of a particular species may vary due to geographic differences (Jisr et al 2018). In addition, variation possibly resultant because of seasonality, sex, availability of feed and physiological condition (Gosavi et al 2019;Le Cren 1951). Moreover, the LLRs were found highly correlated for both sexes of G. chapra.…”

“…A recent study was conducted on important biological parameters of B. badis [ 26 ]. As fisheries management relies on other factors, having specific data about population parameters like growth, death rates, and recruitment is crucial for the implementation of proper management policies [ [46] , [47] , [48] ]. The LFD serves as a crucial biometric indicator for evaluating the changing patterns of recruitment, growth, mortality, yields, and the overall stock biomass within a specific ecosystem [ 49 , 50 ] by using dynamic mathematical models [ 49 , 51 ].…”

“…The growth performance index in C. reba was lower than that observed in closely related cyprinid fish such as Cirrhinus mrigala (6.180), as studied by Ramulu et al (2022) in the Thamirabarani River, South India. Fast growth rates and growth performance indices may enhance a species' potential for aquaculture (Gosavi et al, 2019). The occurrence of immature fish in the catch indicated a more or less continuous spawning period throughout the year, with a single recruitment pulse between June and August.…”
