To study length weight and condition factor relationship of Cirrhinus (C) mrigala, Labeo (L) rohita and Catla (C) catla, nine specimen of each species were collected from Punjab University Fish Research Farm, Lahore, Pakistan. The mean total length was measured 39.92±3.66 cm, 37.49±3.62 cm and 37.01±3.1947 cm for C. mrigala, L. rohita and C. catla, respectively. While mean total wet body weight was measured 645±194.71 g for C. mrigala, 633±182.01 g for L. rohita and 624±167.23 g for C. catla. Total length and wet body weight of the species did not differ significantly (P>0.05), while condition factor showed highly significant difference (P<0.001) among these species. Log transform regression was used to study the growth. Growth coefficients (b) of C. mrigala (3.24), L. rohita (3.14) and C. catla (3.18) indicated positive allometric growth pattern (weight gain more rapidly as compared to the cube of the length) in these carp species
