Age And Growth Characteristics Of Chalcalburnus Mossulensis (Heckel, 1843) Living In Karasu River (Erzurum-Turkey), Ayhan Yildirim, Hali̇l İbrahi̇m Hali̇loğlu, Mustafa Türkmen, Orhan Erdoğan

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The relationship of age, growth and length-weight was analyzed for Chalcalburnus mossulensis from the Aşkale region of Karasu River from November 1995 to October 1997. Fish in the sample groups were between 1 and 7 years and the ratio of males to females was 1:1.08. Von Bertalanffy equations were used to find the growth in length for both sexes. The growth parameters for males and females were estimated to be L_{\infinity} = 19.88869 cm, K = 0.1867795 and t_0 = -2.3 and L_{\infinity} = 21.8742 cm, K = 0.168014 and t_0 = -2.1, respectively. We also found that the length-weight …
