Abstract

Fecundity of 84 specimens ofCoilia ramcarati (Ham.-Buch.), collected from the Hooghly estuarine system, was studied. The relationships between standard length and fecundity, total weight and fecundity, ovary weight and fecundity, standard length and ovary weight and total weight and ovary weight have been determined for the species. Statistically significant relationships were found to exist between the above variables. Close resemblances in most of the above relationships betweenC. ramcarati andC. dussumieri have been observed.
