The present paper deals with the growth characteristics of the juvenile of woolly handed. crab (Eriocheir sinensis) cultivated in ponds. The relationship of length (L)/age (T) is exponential. The regression equation of length or weight and age was determined through calculation. The results obtained showed that there is a little difference about growth rate of the juvenile crab under different culture conditions，but obviously there is a significant difference in individual growth. Eithar indoor or outdoor under same food ration and dissolved oxygen, the relationship of the juvenile crab growth with water temperature is a positive correlation, between 16.5℃ and 32.0℃. The general equation of the juvenile crab, based on the measurement of 185 individuals, can be pressed as W= 0 .4209L^3.1150
