dc.description.abstract	Cultivation of Gerres oblongus is likely to be profitable because of the consumer demand. The values obtained for the mean weight by sex show that females were significantly (P<0.05) larger than males. Covariance analysis for length-weight relationships of male and female fishes reveals that there was significant variation between male and female fishes (P<0.05). The calculated length-weight relationships of W = 0.01127 x L-2.958 and W = 0.015319 x L-3.126, obtained for males and females respectively. The exponent value, b=2.958 for males and b=3.126 for females, not significant from 3 (P>0.05) reflect an almost isometric	en_US
