Length-weight relationships and condition factors of fifteen fish species from Pabean Bay, West Java, Indonesia

Abstract Length-weight relationships (LWR) and condition factors (CF) were calculated for thirteen fish species using 621 specimens from Pabean Bay, West Java, Indonesia. This study is the first reference on length–parameters and condition factors for fifteen species, namely: Ambassis vaschelli, Arius sp., Asterhombus intermedius, Butis amboinensis, Eleuthronema tetradactylum, Gerres abbreviatus, Johnius coitor, Glosogobius sirkumspelitus, Karalla dussumieri, Lutjanus ruselli, Pomadasys kaakan, Pseudorhombus arsius, Sardinella gibbosa, Strongylura strongylura, and Terapon jarbua. Fish caught montly from January to December 2015, using gillnet and set net. The results of LWR and CF from fifteen fish species indicated that the growth pattern was: 3 species were allometric positive (b>3), 1 species was isometric (b=3), and 11 species were allometric negative (b<3).
