Growth rate of mullet Liza haematocheilus in the rivers Razdolnaya (Amur Bay), Artyomovka and Sukhodol (Ussuri Bay), and Kievka (Kievka Bay) are investigated and the ratio length-age is described by power function. The mullets from the rivers of the Amur Bay and Kievka Bay have higher growth rate than those from the rivers of the Ussuri Bay. Besides, stable decreasing of the growth rate is observed since the year 2000 for the Razdolnaya where the growth rate has been determined annually in 1995–2007.
