Nutritious commercially important shrimps abound in Nigerian waters, albeit proper management is needed for sustainability. Determining the composition, length-weight relationship and condition factor will guide shrimp management in the New Calabar River (NCR). This study was conducted at Choba Jetty of the NCR using a longitudinal survey design whereby shrimp data were collected at the Choba landing site monthly for four months (August-November, 2023). Standard method was used to determine physico-chemical parameters. The shrimps were identified with standard identification keys. The range of pH was 6.90±0.07 to 7.13±0.17, temperature, 27.8±0.59 to 28.45±0.64^oC, conductivity, 17.01±1.45 to 17.65±2.54μS/cm, dissolved oxygen, 3.02±0.69 to 3.5±0.54mg/l, total dissolved solids, 13.2±3.61 to 14.3±1.55mg/l, and BOD, 6.05±2.15 to 7.02±0.54mg/l. Two shrimp species, Macrobrachium macrobrachion and Palaemontes africanus belonging to the Family Palaemonidae were encountered. The length-weight relationship showed negative allometric growth for both species, suggesting that the rate of increase in body length is disproportionate to weight. The condition factors for M. macrobrachion (0.77-0.92) and P. africanus (0.84-0.88) do not indicate good state of well-being of the shrimp populations. The condition of NCR during the period study was not suitable for the shrimp populations.
