plotting - Ellipsoid in spherical cordinates


I am trying to plot in spherical coordinates the ellipsoid defined as



$$(x/3a)^2+(y/2a)^2+(z/4c)^2=1$$


This is my code:


ParametricPlot3D[{Cos[u] Sin[v], Sin[u] Sin[v], (1/3 Cos[u] Sin[v])^2 + 
(1/2 Sin[u] Sin[v])^2 + (1/4 Cos[v])^2 == 1}, {u, 0, 2 π}, {v, -π, π}]

What am I doing wrong? No errors are displayed and an empty frame is all I see.
