Abstract
This study investigates the length-weight
relationship (LWR) of Jagora spp., a genus of fish prevalent in varied
aquatic environments, to evaluate its utility as a biomarker of health and
nutritional status. Through the collection and analysis of biometric data from
specimens across different habitats - freshwater, brackish, and marine - the
research aims to discern patterns that correlate physical condition with
environmental quality. Utilizing regression analyses and condition factor
calculations, this paper establishes baseline LWR data and examines its
potential as a non-invasive measure of wellbeing in Jagora spp. The
results are intended to provide insights that could influence future
conservation strategies and ecosystem management practices, highlighting the
impact of habitat on the health of aquatic populations.
