Relationship between total length and mouth gap of some commercially important carp fry

The estimated regression equation for total length and mouth gape computed were LogTL = Log 0.23 + 0.663 log MG (vertically) (r = 0.960) and Log TL = Log 0.08 + 0.686log MG (horizontally) (r = 0.949). In case of rohu average total length from 11350 mm to23775 mm and mouth gape 805 um to 1225 um (vertically) and 700 um to 1110 um(horizontally) between the first day of mouth opening up to 15 days. The regressionequation for total length and mouth gap were Log TL = Log 0.20 + 0.660 log MG(vertically) (r = 0.935) and Log TL = Log 0.02 + 0698 log MG (horizontally) ( r = 0.907). In case of silver carp average total length from 12800 ,urn to 33555 um and mouthgape 690 um to 1210 um (vertically) and 615 um to 1115 um (horizontally) between thefirst day of mouth opening up to 15 days. The regression equation for total length andmouth gape were Log TL = Log 0.36 + 0.596 log MG (vertically) (r = 0.936) and LogTL = Log 0.26 + 0.607 log MG (horizontally) (r = 0.891). The relationship between totallength and mouth gape (vertically and horizontally) of the studied fry were found to belinear and highly significant.
