Length-weight relationship and condition factor of Pterygoplichthys pardalis(Pisces: Loricariidae) in Malaysia Peninsula.

The Pterygoplichthys pardalis in the Langat River of Malaysia Peninsula was studied for its length-weight relationships and condition factor for the period of August 2003 to October 2004. It was revealed that P. pardalis has the allometric growth with b = 2.538 ± 0.039 and a = 0.040 ± 0.006(n = 928)...
