“…The Cauvery is a major river of peninsular India and its basin lies between the coordinates of 75°27′–79°54′E longitude and 10°09′–13°30′N latitude, with a total drainage area of 81,155 km 2 (Chidambaram et al., 2018) distributed across the States of Karnataka (34,273 km 2 ), Kerala (2,866 km 2 ), Tamil Nadu (43,856 km 2 ) and the Union Territory of Puducherry (160 km 2 ). The river originates from a perennial spring at Talakaveri (altitude of 1,341 m above Mean Sea Level) situated along the Brahmagiri Range of the Western Ghats in the Kodagu District of Karnataka, traverses a total length (TL) of 800 km through the States of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu before its confluence with the Bay of Bengal.…”

These nets were set in the evening hours (6.00 p.m.) and hauled in next day morning (6.00 a.m.).…”

Length–weight relationships of six indigenous fish species from the River Cauvery and its estuary, India

et al. 2021

The present study estimated length–weight relationships (LWRs) for six indigenous fish species (Barilius gatensis, Salmostoma acinaces, S. boopis, Puntius amphibius, Hemibagrus punctatus and Ambassis miops) based on specimens collected from River Cauvery (including estuary) during July 2017–January 2020. The sampling surveys were carried out in three distinct sampling seasons, viz., the pre‐monsoon (March–May), the monsoon (July–October) and the post‐monsoon (November–February). Majority of the fish specimens dealt in the study were collected from multi‐meshed monofilament gill nets (mesh sizes 18, 30, 45, 60, 90, 110, 120 and 150 mm) operated by local fishers. For those sites situated in the protected areas, sampling was carried out by cast nets with prior permission from the local administration and the collected fishes were released back into river after length–weight measurements. The length measurements were noted as total length (TL) measured to the nearest 0.1 cm by using a digital Vernier caliper. A digital balance was used for weight measurements with an accuracy of 0.01 g. The study recorded a new maximum length of 48 cm for H. punctatus. The LWR data generated from the present study are significant for proper assessment of the stock status and their management, if collected together with other essential biological and physical parameters.
