Some Aspects of the Growth Features and Condition Factor of Arius Gigas (Boulenger, 1911) from Obuama Creek (Rivers State, Nigeria)

Length-frequency distributions, length-weight relationships, length-length relationships and condition factors (Fulton’s KF, allometric KA, and relative KR) of Arius gigas in the Obuama Creek in Rivers State, Nigeria were investigated. 217 samples were collected from artisanal fishermen fishing on...
