Length-weight relationship study of narrow-barred spanish mackerel (Scomberomorus commerson) from Semarang waters was commenced in October-November 2014. The result showed that the fish growth at both the months of October and November 2014 was a negative allometric growth. There was uncertainty to answer the low value for b component during November although at this month was a peak of the fish catching at Java Sea. Due to small fish landed, it indicated that narrow-barred Spanish mackerel of Semarang waters were not proper to be caught. Keywords : narrow-barred Spanish mackerel, length-weight relationship, allometric growth Studi hubungan panjang-berat ikan tenggiri (Scomberomorus commerson) dari perairan Semarang sudah dilakukan selama bulan Oktober dan November 2014.
