Estimation of Relative Growth of Anabas testudineus through multiple linear dimensions

Anabas testudineus (Bloch, 1792) is an exceedingly costly freshwater fish species belonging to the order Perciformes and the family Anabantidae (Marimuthu et al., 2009; Khatun et al., 2019). This order comprises seven families containing at least 252 species (Collins et al., 2015; Nelson et al., 2016). The family Anabantidae comprising about 33 species in 4 genera (Froese and Pauly, 2019) possess a labyrinth organ i.e., accessory ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Article History: Received: Sept. 10, 2020 Accepted: Jan. 30, 2021 Online: Feb. 28, 2021 _______________
