The length-girth relationships of Javanese carp (Barbodes gonionotus) and hampal carp (Hampala macrolepidota) in the Jatilujur Reservoir, Indonesia were examined. The equations derived from estimating the maximum girth of Javanese carp are G sub(m) = -1.19 + 0.80L, and for the hampal carp, G super(m) = -0.47 + 0.62L. Models relating head girth to total length are also given. The relationship between G sub(m) (maximum girth) of fish caught and gillnet mesh size is also briefly discussed
