The author considers the problem of computing the genus and the number of rational points over a finite field for fibre products of hyperelliptic curves; i.e., fibre products of curves given by the equations \(y^2=f_i(x)\), \(1\leq i\leq s\). For the determination of the number of rational points, one chooses the polynomials \(f_i(x)\) suitably and the determination then envolves a lemma on character sums. The paper also considers the more general situation of fibre products of superelliptic curves. Those fibre products are then used for the construction of long Goppa codes with good parameters and the advantage of the superelliptic case is that one is then able to construct longer codes. The analogous problem for certain fibre products of Artin-Schreier curves was already considered by \textit{G. van der Geer} and \textit{M. van der Vlugt} [J. Comb. Theory, Ser. A 70, 337-348 (1995; Zbl 0824.94025)]. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0905.00051].
