Observation of morphometric characteristics in fish Clarias batrachus (Linnaeus, 1758) from Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh
View through CrossRef
The walking catfish (Clarias batrachus Linnaeus, 1758) is an omnivorous bottom feeder, incorporating various food sources in its diet, such as insects, insect larvae, crustaceans, and vegetable matter. It is primarily nocturnal. However, it can adapt to pond conditions and readily switch to a more carnivorous diet. During observation, the main focus is to examine the morphometric relationship of Clarias batrachus for that total ten morphometric characters were measured for each specimen. Notably, a linear relationship was observed between the total length and other morphometric characters. The results highlight a strong correlation between most morphometric parameters and the total length of the catfish. However, it was found that the anal length does not show a significant correlation with the total length.
