Abstract

413  samples  of  Pomad asys jubelini  were  obtained  from  the  New  Calabar-Bonny  River  and  examined  over a period of twenty four months. The length ranged from 8.50cm -  47.60 and the weight from 17.00g -   2320g.  Females were longer and heavier than males. There was a strong and positive relationship between fish length and
weight  (r) = 0.91 for males and 0.99 females, and b value (b<3) indicating a negative allometric growth.The monthly condition factor (K) ranged from 0.00 –  1.16 for males and 0.01  –  2.15 for females.   Generally, the  fish were in good condition when caught however the conditoon factor varied among different sizes of the fish
