摘要
Scales of 229 specimens of the carp Catla catla from Gobindsagar (a reservoir) and 223 from Harike (a riverine area) in northern India were read for age determination and calculation of growth parameters. There was a strong linear relationship between total fish length and lateral scale radius. The riverine population had a better rate of growth than that from the reservoir. Annulus formation occurred in June-July coinciding with spawning and the southwest monsoon. The growth constant parameter indicated that the fish enters 'old age' in the fifth year of life.
