The oriental river prawn (Macrobrachium nipponense) is a widely distributed non-indigenous species to southern Caspian basin-northern Iran. This research aimed to study its growth and mortality characteristics using 860 specimens in Boustan Dam Lake located in south-eastern Caspian Sea form February to September 2016. Male to female ratio was 1:1.11. Differences in shrimp abundance and total weight were significant among various months (p<0.05). The range of total length and weight were 11.7-74.94 mm and 0.04-4.51 g respectively. Mean length and weight of males (40.24 mm and 0.81 g) was less than those of females (41.7 mm and 1.01 g). The relationship between length and weight of males and females was significant in Boustan Dam Lake, both genders had an isometric growth pattern. Growth parameters were estimated as L∞=86.63 mm and K=0.79 for males, and L∞=76 mm and K=1 for females. Natural mortality of males was 1.08 and that of females 1.17. Based on the results of the present work it seems that Boustan Dam Lake has suitable condition for growth of M. nipponense.
