Title

Weight–length relationship of Sclerodactylidae sea cucumber, Ohshimella ehrenbergii (Selenka, 1868) (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea), from Karachi coast, Pakistan

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine weight–length relationships (WLRs) of sea cucumber Ohshimella ehrenbergii that was sampled during three seasons, pre-monsoon, monsoon and post-monsoon, in January to December 2014 from Sunehri coast in the Arabian Sea, Pakistan coast. The results showed that Ohshimella ehrenbergii has negative allometric growth characteristics in all seasons. Namely, the value of b was calculated as 0.924 in pre-monsoon, as 1.044 in post-monsoon, as 0.982 in monsoon and as 0.992 in combined data with significant differences from isometric growth.
