Let (Z_n)_n≥0 be a supercritical Galton-Watson process. Consider the Lotka-Nagaev estimator for the offspring mean. In this paper, we establish self-normalized Cramér type moderate deviations and Berry-Esseen's bounds for the Lotka-Nagaev estimator. The results are believed to be optimal or near optimal.
