Abstract

The present study describes the food and feeding habits, Length- weight relationship and condition factor in Cat fish Mystus armatus. Food contents was measured by frequency of occurrence method. Length-weight relation was measured by correlation regression equation method LogW=aLb. The length weight relationship indicates that relationship between length-weight is allometric growth having high values of b withR2> 0.56 with CI of 95%. The values of condition factor varies from 0.70 to 0.88.  The present study is useful to study conservation and sustainable fisheries management. It was concluded that Mystus armatus is carnivorous feeder, length weight relationship is significant, and fish is in poor condition due to various conditions of water.
