Background:  The mullets fish  Liza macrolepis  and  Moolgarda engeli  are predominant in the Lambada Lhok waters in Aceh province. At present, no scientific report on this species in Aceh waters is available. Therefore, the objective of the present study is to examine the growth pattern and condition factor of the species of mullets  L. macrolepis  and  M. engeli  harvested from the aforementioned coastal waters.    Methods:  The sampling was done in three locations in the Lambada Lhok waters from July to November 2018. The fish were captured using gillnets from 6:00 AM to 3:00 PM four times a month for five months.  A total of 242  L. macrolepis  and 109  M. engeli  were used for the analysis. The growth pattern was analyzed using linear allometric model; then, two condition factors, Fulton’s and relative weight, were calculated.    Results:  The study revealed a   b   value of 2.49 for the male  L. macrolepis  and 1.81 for the female. The   b   value was 3.22 for the male  M. engeli  and 3.41 for the female. The   b   value of the fish was higher during the dry season. The Fulton’s condition factor of the male  L. macrolepis  was 1.19, and that of the female was 1.19. The relative condition factor of this species was 100.11 and 100.01 for males and females, respectively. The Fulton condition factor of male  M. engeli  was 1.05 and that of the female was 1.06. The relative weight condition factors were 101.08 and 100.61 for the male and female, respectively.      Conclusions:  The growth pattern of  M. engeli  tends to be isometric, whereas that of  L. macrolepis  has a negative allometric growth pattern. The condition factors indicate that the Lambada Lhok waters are still in good condition and support the growth of the mullets, but  M. engeli  is more adaptable than  L. macrolepis .
