Abstract

• Population parameters of the spadenose shark Scoliodon laticaudus were estimated for a total of 180 specimens in each station from the fish landing sites were also studied periods. The estimated length-weight relationship of S. laticaudus showed a negative allometric growth pattern (b<3) in Zeephyuthaung and Setse and an isometric growth pattern (b=3) in Kyaikkhami. According to length frequency distribution, the juveniles of shark were observed throughout the study period and (10-12 cm) size group was recruited to the fishery from October to December in Setse. The value of K was the highest in February at Setse.
