C. striata can grow up to 100 cm TL but, commonly, the large adults are found between 35 and 50 cm TL (Froese and Pauly, 2012). The result from tagging experiment showed that the adult C. striata grew about 10 cm TL over a year (Amilhat and Lorenzen, 2005), concurring to the results obtained from this study that C. striata grew at 12 and 10 cm TL during the second year. De Silva (1994) reported that C. striata inhabited in the large reservoir (about 1,000 ha of surface area) showed the better growth performance (i.e. higher in L and K) than those, which lived in a smaller reservoirs ranged from 40 – 200 ha in surface area. However, in this study the growth rates between the lentic- and lotic- habitants was not significant difference. Difference in L, found in this study, in which adults in the lentic environment can grow larger, could be because of the extremely large individual (i.e. 56.4 cm TL) from the lentic habitat and be contributing to the higher fishing pressure (Amarasinghe et al., 1989), which always occur in the lowland river portion (Hortle, 2009) and the larger size fish always be targeted.
