Abstract

Length-weight relationships (LWRs) parameters were calculated for 11 lessepsian migrant fish species, Pempheris vanicolensis Cuvier, 1831, Siganus luridus (Rüppell, 1829), Siganus rivulatus Forsskål & Niebuhr, 1775, Saurida undosquamis (Richardson, 1848), Sargocentron rubrum (Forsskål, 1775), Upeneus moluccensis (Bleeker,1855), Stephanolepis diaspros Fraser-Brunner, 1940, Etrumeus sadina (Mitchill, 1814), Dussumieria elopsoides Bleeker, 1849, Lagocephalus sceleratus (Gmelin, 1789) and Lagocephalus spadiceus (Richardson, 1845). A total of 288 specimens were collected between 2009-2010 fishing seasons by middle trammel nets. Values of the allometric coefficient (b) ranged from 2.649 for L. sceleratus 3.392 for D. elopsoides.

Abstract

Lesepsiyen göçmeni 11 balık türü, Pempheris vanicolensis Cuvier, 1831, Siganus luridus (Rüppell, 1829), Siganus rivulatus Forsskål & Niebuhr, 1775, Saurida undosquamis (Richardson, 1848), Sargocentron rubrum (Forsskål, 1775), Upeneus moluccensis (Bleeker,1855), Stephanolepis diaspros Fraser-Brunner, 1940, Etrumeus sadina (Mitchill, 1814), Dussumieria elopsoides Bleeker, 1849, Lagocephalus sceleratus (Gmelin, 1789) and Lagocephalus spadiceus (Richardson, 1845) için boy-ağırlık ilişkisi hesaplanmıştır. Bu çalışmada orta su trolü kullanılarak, 2009-2010 yıllarında balık avının serbest olduğu dönemlerde toplamda 288 birey elde edilmiştir. Boy-ağırlık ilişkisine ait b değeri L. sceleratus için 2,649 ve D. elopsoides için 3,392 arasında hesaplanmıştır.
