This study aims to estimate the size distribution, length-weight relationship (growth pattern), and condition factors of climbing perch in swamp waters of Banjar Regency. Sample data of 204 individual were obtained from several villages that are inland fishing centers in Sungai Rangas Ulu, Sungai Batang, Tungkaran, Melayu Tengah, Melayu Ulu, and Mekar villages for April–July 2024. The analysis results obtained a distribution fish lengths ranging from 56–150 mm, while the range weights was between 2.8–65.88 grams with average 89.58 and 15.29 grams, respectively. The length-weight relationship equation W = 5.4e-06.L3.209 shows that fish growth pattern is allometric positive (b > 3).
