Some Morphometric Relationship Traits of Talang Queenfish, Scomberoides commersonnianus (Lacépède, 1801) from Pakistan

In the current study, 73 samples of Scomberoides commersonnianus  of different body size with ranges of 20.5 to 56.9 cm were collected from Karachi, Pakistan. Specimens were used to examine some morphometrics as length-weight and length-length relations. To address the parameters, condition factors and their relations with respect to total length, fork length, standard length, head length and width, body girth, dorsal fin base and length, pectoral fin base and length, pelvic fin length, caudal fin length, anal fin width, and length were determined. Results showed a highly significant correlation among those parameters, concerning the increase in body weight and total length. For instance, a highly positive correlation was found between body weight and condition factor, while a non-significant relation was detected in total length and condition factor. Furthermore, the b recorded value for the coefficient of regression was 2.53 indicating a negative allometric growth pattern in S.commersonnianus. Interestingly, the resulted data would hopefully provide significant information on various morphometric parameters of Talang Queenfish (Scomberoides commersonnianus) to support zoologists and ichthyologists.
