    Abstract: Length-weight Relationship (LWR) of 962 specimens of <I>Auchenoglanis occidentalis</I> inhabiting Kontagora reservoir were studied. The fish specimens were captured using experimental gill nets at three sampling sites on the reservoir between January-December, 2007. The parameters a and b of the length-weight relationship W = aL<SUP>b</SUP> and the condition factor (cf) = 100W/L<SUP>3</SUP> were determined for the species. The mean cf value was 1.95. The b value was 3.292 which indicates a positive allometric growth with the variation in the body weight correlating with changes in the length.
