Growth And Reproduction Properties Of Capoeta Trutta (Heckel,1843) In Karakaya Dam Lake, Ercan Kalkan
Growth And Reproduction Properties Of Capoeta Trutta (Heckel,1843) In Karakaya Dam Lake, Ercan Kalkan
Turkish Journal of Zoology
In this study, 510 samples of Capoeta trutta living in Karakaya Dam Lake were studied. After determining sex distribution, size (length and weight), growth rates, and growth conditions factors of 210 C. trutta specimens were examined. The number of female and male specimens was 104 and 106, respectively. The age of females and males ranged between 1-7 and 0-7 years, respectively. The age-length, age-weight, and length-weight curves were constructed. According to the von Bertalanffy equation, females and males were: L_t = 89.5[1-e^{-0.0571(t+2.4138))}], W_t = 9627.1[1-e^{0.0571(t+2.4238))}]^{3.0325} L_t = 76.4[1-e^{-0.0604(t+2.6514))}], W_t = 5207.2[1-e^{0.0604(t+2.6514))}]^{2.9322}, respectively . The calculated length-weight relation (W) was 0.0116 …
Growth, Mortality, And Reproduction Of Poor Cod (Trisopterus Minutus Linn., 1758) In The Central Aegean Sea, Gülnur Meti̇n, Akin Türker İlkyaz, Hasan Tuncay Kinacigi̇l
Growth, Mortality, And Reproduction Of Poor Cod (Trisopterus Minutus Linn., 1758) In The Central Aegean Sea, Gülnur Meti̇n, Akin Türker İlkyaz, Hasan Tuncay Kinacigi̇l
Turkish Journal of Zoology
A total of 1527 of poor cod (Trisopterus minutus Linn., 1758) were collected by trawl hauls between April 2001 and March 2002 from İzmir Bay (central Aegean Sea). The size of the fish (total length) ranged from 10.6 cm (minimum, September) and 24.8 cm (April). The population was composed of 53% males, 41% females, and 6% immature individuals, with a female to male ratio of 1:1.3. The age composition of the samples was from I to V. The von Bertalanffy growth parameters were L_{\infinity} = 28.1 cm, W_{\infinity} = 254.0 g, K = 0.26 y^{-1}, and t_{o} = -1.52 y. …
Age And Growth Characteristics Of Himri Barbel (Barbus Luteus Heckel, 1843) In Orontes River, Turkey, Kaya Gökçek, İhsan Akyurt
Age And Growth Characteristics Of Himri Barbel (Barbus Luteus Heckel, 1843) In Orontes River, Turkey, Kaya Gökçek, İhsan Akyurt
Turkish Journal of Zoology
In this study, the age and growth of Himri Barbel (Barbus luteus Heckel, 1843) were determined based on specimens collected from Orontes River-Turkey, during the period from February 2004 to January 2005. This population comprised 7 age groups of males and 9 of females. The male and female ratio was 1:1.26 (M:F). Total length-weight relationship was estimated as W = 0.0129TL^{2.986} for females, W = 0.0125TL^{3.003} for males. Growth parameters of the von Bertalanffy equation were computed for females and males as: L_{infinite}= 38.77, W_{infinite}= 714.23, k = 0.300, t_0 = -1.69 and L_{infinite}= 40.32, W_{infinite}= 819.35, k = 0.247, …
