Quantitative analysis of the growth of the myotomes of freshwater teleost, Ophicephalus punctatus Bloch (= Channa punctata). 1976

S Mustafa, and A K Jafri

A positive correlation was found to exist between the growth of the myotomes, in thickness, and that of the body length of Ophicephalus punctatus Bloch, a common freshwater teleost. The changes in the absolute and the relative growth of the myotomes, as observed in this fish, were found to be age-specific. The constancy in the mysosomatic indices as also in the ratios of the differential growth rates of the myotomes did not seem to permit any divergence from the linear relation between the growth of the body and the myotomes.
