Length-weight relationship and condition factor of mantis shrimps (Harpiosquilla harpax) from Pelabuhan Ratu waters and Cirebon between May and July 2016 were studied. A total of 46 specimens ranging from 10.63 to 21.68 cm in total length and 12.23 to 90.89 g in total weight were collected. The value of exponent “b” obtained for length-weight relationship ranged from 2.687 to 3.3503. The range of K values which was from 0.78 to 1.21 indicated that the mantis shrimps examined from both locations were in good and healthy conditions. The “b” values indicate allometric growth for mantis shrimps collected for both regions.
