Abstract: Lenght-Weight relationship (LWR) of
Telescopium telescopium were analyzed from coast of Banggi, Rembang, Central Java, Indonesia. This study was found 644 specimens during September 2016 – July 2017 at low tide and took systematic measurements (length and weight) to quantify shell size. The parameter a and b relationship used the formula W = aL
b and the value of the b slope in the length-weight relationship was 1.14 and the intercept was 0. 0.5486. The lenght – weight relationship in
Telescopium telescopium expressed an allometric growth. The condition factor ‘K’ of all experimental fish was below 1.0 (0.78±0.13) indicating poor or extrem condition of experimented gastropod.
