Length-weight relationship and condition factor of river sprat, Clupeichthys sp. from Tasik Kenyir, Terengganu, Malaysia

The length-weight relationship (LWR) and condition factor for river sprat, Clupeichtys sp. from Tasik Kenyir was determined and qualitatively compared with the other known species within the genus in Southeast Asia. A total of 408 individuals were collected from the mouth of Sungai Cacing, one of...
