dc.descriptionResearch Noteen
dc.description.abstractThe present study determined the fish species composition and described the length-weight relationship (LWR) of fishes in Tigum River, Iloilo, Philippines from April 2015 to March 2016. Ten (10) fish species from eight families were identified – with Poecilia sphenops as the most numerous (47.0%), followed by Oreochromis niloticus (38.2%). Linear regression analyses of the LWR showed a significant relationship between length and weight of fish – with r2 greater than 0.9 for the seven of the 10 fish species sampled – indicating that fish weight may be predicted from the length, at least within the range of the fish lengths recorded.en
dc.description.sponsorshipThis study was funded by the University Research and Development Center of the West Visayas State University. The cooperation and assistance of the municipal officials of Ma-asin and the Department of Natural Resources Region 6 are greatly appreciated.en
