Abstract

This study was carried out to evaluate the length-weightrelationship, length frequency distribution and condition factor of the Shiny Nose Polydactylus quadrafilis from the Cross River estuary, Nigeria. A total of 350 freshly caught specimens of P. quadrafilis were collected between April 2012 and March 2013 from the catches of the artisanal fisheries from major landing points of the estuary. Results obtained showed a negative allometric growth pattern for this fish species with a significant linear relationship given by the equation: TW= 0.1325TL2.1884 and Log TW = 2.1884LogTL – 0.8777 (r = 0.8610, r2 = 0.7413t, n = 350, P
