Abstract
Mud crab Scylla serrata form an important fishery in the Pulicat lake, Tamilnadu. In the present study the relationship between carapace width and body weight were estimated as (Log W= -0.342438+2.914702) . The estimated ‘a’ and ‘b’ value for carapace width and body weight were -0.342438 and 2.914702 , respectively. The result showed an isometric growth pattern and significant differences were found between carapace width and body weight in the mud crab collected from Pulicat lake, Tamil Nadu, India.
