Abstract
The weight-length and condition factor parameters of wild fresh water Channa punctata from a natural pond in Multan have been presented. Log transformed regressions were used to test the allometric growth. It was observed that growth in weight was allometric of the form: W - -1.86 L 2.8h. The value of slope b = 2.88, is significantly lower than h =3, the weight grows less rapidly as compared to the cube of length. It was concluded that body proportions changed as fish grew in size. Condition -factor showed no significant correlation with increasing length and weight
