ABSTRACT: Research on growth
and condition factor of goatfish were carried out from May 2015 to November 2015
in Kendari Bay, Southeast Sulawesi. The purpose of this research was to analyze
growth and condition factor of goatfish in Kendari Bay, Southeast Sulawesi. Fish
samples were collected using bottom experimental gillnets and trammel nets with
different mesh sizes ¾, 1, 1¼, and 1½ inch. Growth parameters were analyzed
following von Bertalanffy formula using ELEFAN I software of package program of
FiSAT II. A total of 386 individual fish was caught with ranged from 46–176 mm
in the total length and 3,1 – 67,1g in weight. The length-weight relationship
of goatfish is Lt= 184,42 {1E–1;5(t006)}
