Some morphometric relationships of Sillago sihama in Coastal Waters of Bandar Abbas) Hormozgan province)

Indian sandwhiting Sillago sihama from family Sillaginidae is food acceptability in Hormozgan province. 1204 samples were collected from Coastal Waters of Bandar Abbas by encircling gill net and vessels from July 2011 to July 2012 and 884 samples were investigated for length- length and length-weight relationships.The results indicated that the length-length and length-weight relationships specially total length- standard length relation in the male (r2= 0.948) and in the female (r2=0.949), total length-weight relation in the male (r2= 0.932) and in the female (r2=0.927), standard length- weight relation in the male (r2= 0.907) and in the female (r2=0.912) were highly correlated (P<0.05). The relationship between total length and weight can be expressed in the male as: y = 0.008x 2.942 and in the female y = 0.008x 2.952 and The relationship between standard length and weight in the male as: y = 0.023x 2.776 and in the female y = 0.016x 2.897 which indicates that Sillago sihama, has isometric growth.
