Length-Weight Relationship, Condition Factor and Aspects of Growth Parameters of the Black Tiger Shrimp (Penaeus Monodon) in the Andoni River System, Niger Delta, Nigeria

Abstract

The investigation of length-weight relationship, condition factor and some growth parameters of the black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) were carried out in a monthly sampling over a period of twelve months in Andoni river system. The length-weight relationship of the shrimp was estimated using linear regression, a technique incorporated in the FAO-ICLARM Stock Assessment Tool (FiSAT). The condition factor of the shrimp was estimated from Fulton Condition factor (K) while age
