%X The present study attempts to develop a comprehensive length-weight relationship and relative condition factor (Kn) of Xenentodon cancila collected from River Mat in Mizoram. The value of exponent ¡®n¡¯ in the equation W = cLn was 1.185 for the species X. cancila. The computed ¡®t¡¯ value indicated that the ¡®n¡¯ value of the species is significantly different from the expected value ¡®3¡¯ and hence the Cube Law W = cLn did not hold good in the case of X. cancila found in Mat in Mizoram. The correlation co-efficient (r) in X. cancila was found to be 1 indicating that there is high positive correlation between length and weight in the species. The relative condition factor (Kn) remained greater than 1 for the species indicating their general well being to be good in Mat River in Mizoram
