Abstract
Growth studied of Tor putitora (Ham.) using length-weight relationship was conducted on the specimens obtained from the Pong reservoir. The statistical relationship between length-weight of the fish was derived as suggested by parabolic equation by Lecren (1951). The value 'n' of length-weight relationship was 3.150, 3.313 and 2.958 from pooled, females and males specimens, respectively.
