Summary, etc. Length-weight relationship of <em>Acanthopagrus berda </em>was investigated from 720 specimens collected from Korapuzha estuary, Calicut, India. Length-weight relationship for male, female, transitional, undifferentiated and total sample population of <em>A. berda </em>were determined as W = 0.3994L<sup>2.536</sup>, W = 0.1694L<sup>3.0584</sup>, W = 0.14778L<sup>3.1044</sup>, W = 0.12015L<sup>3.285 </sup>and W = 0.16515L<sup>3.037</sup>,<sup> </sup>respectively. The overall mean <em>b</em> value (3.03±0.02) indicated isometric growth.<em> </em>Fecundity ranged from 117,821 to 2,225,243 eggs in females weighing 109.5 to 1753 g. Length at 50 % maturity was observed at 22.0 cm TL for males and 28.6 cm TL for females.  Males (13 – 24 cm TL) dominated smaller length classes whereas females (25 – 43 cm TL) dominated in classes &gt; 25 cm TL indicating protandrous hermaphroditism in <em>A. berda</em>.
