Abstract :The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between length, weight, condition factor insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(K);, and relative condition factor insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Kn); of Mystus tengara insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Hamilton, 1822);, with special emphasis on seasonal variation of growth patterns, productivity, stocks, and conservation in two distinct ecosystems: pond and river. The results demonstrate that the species did not strictly adhere to the predicted cube law and had allometric growth patterns throughout the season.The condition factor insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(K); ranged from 0.33 to 1.49, the relative condition factor insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Kn); varied from 0.44 to 1.77, and the `b` values ranged from 2.00 to 3.29. The post-monsoon season saw the greatest average values for the regression parameter insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(b);, condition factor insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(K);, and relative condition factor insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Kn);. The r2 values represent a significant relation between length and weight in two habitats and throughout all seasons. The Pearson’s correlation indicates some positive and negative significant correlations among season, length, weight, condi-tion factor, and relative condition factor in the study area insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P<0.01 and P<0.05);. The Post Hoc test in-dicates no significant habitat-based association between the same characteristics. However, there is a significant insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P<0.05); seasonal link between relative condition factor, condition factor, weight, and length. As a result, these current findings will assist fisheries managers in creating efficient strategies for the long-term management of M. tengara in its habitats.
