Abstract

Amid growing demands for sustainable aquaculture, understanding species-specific growth patterns is essential for maximizing productivity. The findings revealed that Catla exhibited the highest weight gain, Mrigal showed superior linear growth, and Rohu demonstrated moderate overall performance. A significant positive correlation was observed between total length and other morphometric traits. These results highlight the value of species-specific selection for polyculture systems and emphasize the role of morphometric analysis in broodstock selection and aquaculture enhancement.

Keywords: Morphometric analysis, growth performance, polyculture, broodstock selection
