Abstract– This report aims to establish the morphometrics of Channa striata in the Jumar River in context with the environmental variation and correlation of morphology of fish. From ninety specimens, body measurements and fin length data were recorded. By applying the statistical techniques to the collected samples’ measurable morphometric characters, it has been shown that there exist regional and environmental impacts on the characters with reasonable correlation with body and fin length. The study shows the influence of environmental conditions on fish morphology and indicates some prospects for the protection and use of specific species. These results provide useful knowledge in understanding the ecological characteristics of Channa striata and helps to provide guidelines for environmental protection.
