The price of motan fish in the market ranges from around Rp. 20.000-30.000/kg. To understand the morphometric, meristic and growth pattern of this fish, a research was carried out in Tanjung Kudu Lake from September-November 2020. The number of fish caught from the lake was 111 fishes (79-157 mm TL and 3-42 gr BW). There were 26 morphological characteristic measured and 9 meristical characteristic observed.
