| Abstract | ||||
| Oratosquillina interrupta is a species of mantis shrimp found in Bone Bay, along with Harpiosquilla raphidea and Miyakella nepa. The biological parameters of this species have not been previously documented. This study aimeds to determine the length-weight and condition factors of Oratosquillina interrupta caught in Bone Bay, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The sampling was conducted from May to October 2023 based on the new moon and full moon phases. During the study, a total of 796 mantis shrimp were collected, with 397 during the new moon phase (168 males and 229 females) and 399 during the full moon phase (173 males and 226 females). The growth type of male and female shrimp varied at each sampling time, with some exhibiting isometric growth and others hypoallometric growth. The condition factor value of the male shrimp is was higher than that of the female shrimp, in both the new moon and full moon phases. | ||||
