Growth Properties Of Pikeperch (Sander Lucioperca (L., 1758)) Living In Hirfanlı Dam Lake, Özlem Ablak, Mehmet Yilmaz Jan 2004

Growth Properties Of Pikeperch (Sander Lucioperca (L., 1758)) Living In Hirfanlı Dam Lake, Özlem Ablak, Mehmet Yilmaz

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

This study concerns an investigation of the growth properties of Sander lucioperca (L., 1758) living in Hirfanlı dam constructed on the Kızılırmak river. It was observed that 326 pikeperch (Sander lucioperca (L., 1758)) caught between August 1996 and July 1997 ranged between I and V years of age. The fork length and weight of the population were 105-529 mm and 12-1520 g. The length (L)-weight (W) relation and the condition factor were W = 0.00001049 L^{3.07} and 0.986, respectively.


Some Growth Characteristics Of The Brown Trout Salmo Trutta Macrostigma (Dumeril, 1858) In Tekederesi (Erzurum), Esat Mahmut Kocaman, Aslan Yusuf Yüksel, Muhammed Atamanalp Jan 2004

Some Growth Characteristics Of The Brown Trout Salmo Trutta Macrostigma (Dumeril, 1858) In Tekederesi (Erzurum), Esat Mahmut Kocaman, Aslan Yusuf Yüksel, Muhammed Atamanalp

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Some growth properties of the brown trout Salmo trutta macrostigma (Dumeril, 1858) in Tekederesi, which is a branch feeding the Karasu River, were investigated. The age composition of the population varied between I and V. The population was 64.81% female and 35.19% male and the differences between the sexes were statistcally significant (P < 0.05). The mean fork length and mean body weight of the 54 individuals examined were 16.58 cm and 53.15 g, respectively. The differences between the sexes according to age groups for fork length and total weight were not statistically significant (P > 0.05). The specific and relative growth for length and weight were maximum at the second age. The length-weight relationship of the population was calculated by the least squares method and the logarithmic equation was found to be Log W = -1.4684 + 2.590 Log FL (fork length). …


Growth Properties Of Mirror Carp (Cyprinus Carpio L., 1758) Introduced Into Gelingüllü Dam Lake, Şeri̇fe Gülsün Kirankaya, Fi̇tnat Güler Ekmekçi̇ Jan 2004

Growth Properties Of Mirror Carp (Cyprinus Carpio L., 1758) Introduced Into Gelingüllü Dam Lake, Şeri̇fe Gülsün Kirankaya, Fi̇tnat Güler Ekmekçi̇

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Some growth properties of 407 specimens of the mirror carp population introduced into Gelingüllü Dam Lake between 1998 and 2000 were studied in order to determine changes in growth over time. The data obtained were compared with those of other populations of the same species in other regions of Turkey. The age of the mirror carp in Gelingüllü Dam Lake ranged between I and V. The results revealed that this species, having a length of 20.8 ± 0.8 cm and a weight of 229 ± 21 g at age I, may attain a length of 53.5 ± 3.8 cm and …
