Description Length-weight relation and condition factor of @iPenaeus indicus@@ and @iMetapenaeus dobsoni@@ were estimated using samples from Cochin backwater. Statistical tests support the view that the length-weight exponent of these species may be species specific. Condition factors (@ik@@) was estimated for both species and was quite high indicating the presence of adequate food in the environment. Condition factor was higher for @iM. dobsoni@@ and it remained relatively constant with respect to size suggested that the environment and food in the area sampled were more suitable for this species. Possibility of using @ik@@ to assess the suitability of the environment is also suggested
