چکیده انگلیسی مقاله Length-frequency distributions (LFDs), length-weight relationships (LWRs), length-length relationships (LLRs), and condition factors of Periophthalmus barbarus were studied from the Old Bakana Creek, Rivers State, Nigeria. This research was conducted from June to November 2023 at three sampling sites using the purposive sampling technique. A total of 267 specimens of P. barbarus were collected for this investigation. Results revealed that the length frequency distribution (LFD) of P. barbarus exhibited a unimodal type distribution with a mean value of 8.74±1.505. The mean total length ranged from 9.01±1.42 to 12.06±0.84cm. The mean weight ranged from 7.18±3.03 to 13.89±3.48g. The b value (b= 2.07) for the P. barbarus population in the LWR specified negative allometric growth. All LLRs were highly correlated with coefficient of determination values ≥0.90, and the b value ranged from 0.81 to 0.87. The mean Fulton’s condition factors values varied between 0.64±0.16 and 0.94±0.11. The relationships of condition factors with total length of P. barbarus were statistically significant from September to November, while condition factors recorded for July and August were found statistically significant with the body weight (P<0.01). Thus, the aforementioned findings provide some valuable information for policymakers in the move towards restoration, species conservation, and effectively management of P. barbarus natural stock.
