Abstract

In this study, length-weight relationship for 10 fish species (Cyprinus carpio (common and mirror carp), Aphanius iconii, Atherina boyeri, Carassius gibelio, Pseudophoxinus egridiri, Pseudorasbora parva, Sander lucioperca, Seminemacheilus ispartensis and Vimba vimba) in Lake Eğirdir were assessed. Samples were obtained monthly from January 2010 to June 2011 of Lake Eğirdir, in Turkey. Moreover, for 3 Anatolian endemics species (A. iconii, S. ispartensis and P. egridiri) determined for the first time new maximum lengths are recorded.

Eğirdir Gölü’nden 10 Balık Türünün Boy-Ağırlık İlişkisi

Abstract

Bu çalışmada; Eğirdir Gölü’nde 10 balık türünde (Cyprinus carpio (pullu ve aynalı sazan), Aphanius iconii, Atherina boyeri, Carassius gibelio, Pseudophoxinus egridiri, Pseudorasbora parva, Sander lucioperca, Seminemacheilus ispartensis ve Vimba vimba) boy-ağırlık ilişkisi değerlendirilmiştir. Türkiye'de Eğirdir Gölü'nden Ocak 2010'dan Haziran 2011'e kadar aylık olarak numuneler alınmıştır. Ayrıca ilk kez belirlenen 3 Anadolu endemik türü (A. iconii, S. ispartensis ve P. egridiri) için yeni maksimum uzunluklar kaydedilmiştir.
