Studies on the ageing biology of hill stream loach, Noemacheilus montanus from Kumaun Himalaya, India
Journal Title: Journal of mountain research - Year 2017, Vol 12, Issue 1
Abstract
The present study provides an account of the age and growth of a hillstream loach, N. montanus from Kumaon Himalaya. One hundred species of N. montanus were collected from Rai stream i.e., tributary of the river Kali and were examined for ageing biology. Vertebrae were considered as experimental material for age determination often getting a straight line relationship between fish length and vertebrae diameter. On the basis of above observation it may concluded that the life span of the N. montanus is maximum three years.
