Biological Aspects of Channa limbata (Cuvier, 1831) in Ta Bo - Huai Yai Wildlife Sanctuary, Phetchabun Province, Thailand

The biological aspects of Channa limbata were studied between November 2013 and October 2014. A total of 346 fish specimens, 185 male and 161 female, were collected from Ta Bo, Huai Yai Wildlife Sanctuary, Phetchabun Province, Thailand. Specimens range from 7.3 - 17.2 cm in length with body weight 8...

Specimens range from 7.3 - 17.2 cm in length with body weight 8 - 31 g; sex ratio between males and females was 1: 0.7.
