AB  - Length-weight relationship and condition factor of 24 months samples of <I>Macrobrachium macrobrachion</I> Herlots, 1851, from the Lagos-Lekki lagoon system were estimated. 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 <I>M. macrobrachion </I>stock in the Lagos-Lekki lagoon system was highlighted.
