The parameters a and b of the length-weight relationship were -4.98 and 2.95 for male, while the corresponding female values were -4.76 and 2.82. The species exhibited negative allometric growth. The condition factor k was 1.09 and 0.98 for male and female, respectively. The implication of the estimated LWR parameters to the assessment of M. macrobrachion stock in the Lagos-Lekki lagoon system was highlighted.} }
