Abstract. The freshwater crayfish is one of the most important fish species as the protein resources. Lake and rivers are
the habitat of crayfish in Papua. Morphological characters of crayfish, such as color, total body lengths (L) and body
weight (W) were influenced by the habitat. The purpose of the study, therefore, was to compare the total body length and
body weight as well as the unique color of crayfish from Uter lake (Atinjo district), Seremuk river (Haha village), Baliem
river (Pike village; Hubukiak district, Jayawijaya), and Baliem river (Wesaput village; Wesaput district). Length–weight
(body length; LB versus wet weight; WWT) relationships were determined for male and female crayfish (Cherax
spp.) The length–weight relationships of total individuals was W = 0,022215.L3,159. This regression differed
significantly (R2 = 97.5 %) between locations. Both males and females exhibited positive allometric growth as statistical
difference was observed in the mean of the wet weight and body length between males and females. Besides, Canonical
function was subjected to determine population distribution based on length-weight data.
INTRODUCTION
Cherax spp. is one of the most freshwater species either as the protein resources or as the ornamental
commodities. Cherax spp. was widely distributed in Papua Island, Indonesia [1-5]. Little is known about the basic
morphometric of Cherax spp. Morphometrics variation in the different location might be influenced by genetic
factor [6] and environmental condition [7]. Length-weight measurements can be used to analyze the condition factor
mengidentifiksi and freshwater crayfish. therefore it is important to analyze the length-weight, especially for the
conservation and management of fisheries.
The relationship between body length and weight of crustaceans are generally expressed as allometric equation
W = aLb, where the relationship log W and log L is a linear regression relationship. The correlation coefficient was
used to measure the extent to which the dots converge around a straight line. If the correlation value approaching +1
or -1, then the relationship between the two variables is strong and there is a high correlation between the two [8].
Crustaceans usually experience changes in body shape during growth, and that it is said to be a relative or allometric
growth. In fisheries management sometimes required conversion effort between the total length (L) of the body
weight (W). This growth is influenced by allometric growth so that the value of b is rarely proportional to the cube
of the total length (L) [8]. Research on the length-weight relationship Cherax spp. in Papua has not been done.
Therefore this study aims to analyze the length–weight relationships of Cherax spp. collected from some location in
Papua Island, Indonesia.

river (Wesaput village; Wesaput district) S04°05'40.1'' E138°57'54.7''. To measure length using a caliper with a
precision of 0.01 mm, while to measure the weight using digital scales with accuracy of 0.01g, 31 crayfish taken
randomly from four locations. All individuals were measured to have an a complete body part, then drained to be
weighed wet weight. Cherax total body length is measured from the tip of the rostrum to the tip of the telson.
Individual segregated by sex. The relationship between the length and weight using correlation and regression
analysis to determine the suitable model. Also used Canonical function to see the distribution of the population
based on the length and weight.

CONCLUSIONS
The length–weight relationships of Cherax spp. was significantly different between four locations. Both males
and females showed similar results are positive allometric growth (b > 3).
