ABSTRACT
Population biology including population structure, reproduction,
length-weight relationship and condition factor of a commercially important
clupeid freshwater fish, Gudusia
chapra was studied in the Old Brahmaputra River, Bangladesh during
January-December 2009. In the present study, a total of 2032 specimens (1091
male; 941 female) were collected. The overall sex ratio showed significant
difference from the expected value 1:1 (male: female = 1:0.86, χ2 =
11.07, p<0.001). Length-frequency distribution showed a size
predominance of females over males, where mean female size consistently
exceeded that of males throughout the year. Female size at first sexual
maturity was estimated as 8.3 cm in standard length (SL).
Monthly gonadosomatic index (GSI) was higher during
March-September with a peak in April, indicating this was the main spawning
season. The allometric coefficient b of the length-weight relationship (LWR)
indicated negative allometric growth in males and females, but the analysis of
covariance (ANCOVA) showed significant differences in slope and
intercept between the sexes (p<0.001). Fulton’s condition factor by
months and SLs varied in both sexes and was attributed to variations
in GSI with maturity.

ABSTRAK
Populasi biologi termasuk struktur populasi, pembiakan, hubungan
panjang-berat dan keadaan faktor yang penting secara komersial ikan klupeid air
tawar, Gudusia chapra telah
dikaji di Sungai Lama Brahmaputra, Bangladesh sepanjang Januari-Disember 2009. Dalam kajian ini, sejumlah 2032 spesimen (1091 jantan; 941 betina)
telah dikumpulkan. Nisbah jantina secara keseluruhan menunjukkan
perbezaan yang ketara daripada jangkaan nilai 1:1 (jantan: betina = 1:0.86,
χ2 = 11.07, p<0.001). Pembahagian
panjang-kekerapan menunjukkan saiz betina kepradominaan berbanding jantan
dengan purata saiz betina secara konsisten melebihi jantan sepanjang tahun. Saiz kematangan seksual pertama pada betina adalah
dianggarkan sebagai 8.3 cm mengikut piawai panjang (SL). Indeks bulanan gonadosomatik (GSI)
adalah lebih tinggi semasa bulan Mac-September dengan puncak pada bulan April
yang menunjukkan ini adalah musim bertelur yang utama. Pekali hubungan
alometrik b panjang-berat (LWR) menunjukkan pertumbuhan alometrik
negatif dalam jantan dan betina, tetapi analisis
kovarians (ANCOVA) menunjukkan perbezaan yang signifikan antara
jantina dalam cerun dan pintasan (p<0.001). Faktor
keadaan Fulton mengikut bulan dan SLs berubah dalam kedua-dua jantina dan ini
disebabkan oleh perubahan dalam GSI dengan matang.
