Abstract: An investigative study was carried on the length-weight relationship and condition factor of Cyprinus carpio var. communis, in Manasbal Lake, Kashmir. A total of 360 samples were collected from July 2018 to June 2019. The length-weight relationship was established as W= 4.6033 L^2.9031. The study indicated a negative allometric growth. The condition factor ranged between 1.23 to 1.88 in females and 1.31 to 1.84 in males indicating good condition of the fish. The combined condition factor was found to be highest (1.87) in the month of November and lowest (1.27) in the month of March.
