The research aims to analyze the growth patterns, condition factors, and gonad maturity of Siganus canaliculatus.
Fish samples collected monthly from February to June 2020
Utilized simple random sampling from fish catches at Tanjung Limau port
Fish body length measured with digital caliper; weight measured with digital balance
Total of 226 individual fish analyzed, including 110 males and 116 females
Male fish length ranged from 94.78-197.88 mm with weights between 18.24-94.30 g
Female fish length ranged from 90.00-201.09 mm with weights from 17.98-95.16 g
Strong length-weight correlation (r2=0.967); negative allometric growth pattern observed
Average condition factor was 1.08±0.09, indicating good growth; mature gonads observed in May and June
