Mackerel (R. kanagurta) is a type of marine fish that gathers on the surface of the sea in certain seasons, so it is very easy to catch. This research aims to analyze the relationship between length and weight of Mackerel Fish (Rastrelliger Kanagurta) at the Tanjung Tiram fishing port. The fish used in this research were obtained from fishermen operating around the waters of Tanjung Tiram using mini purse sene fishing gear. Fish collection will start from May 2024 and fish analysis will be carried out at the MPSDP Laboratory at HKBP Nommensen University, Pematangsiantar. The results of the research found a relationship between length and weight of fish, showing that the R.Kanagurta regression coefficient value was 0.611, including negative allometric. This means that growth in length is more dominant than weight.
