In this study, length-weight relationship and
condition of big-scale sand smelt from two different localities with freshwater
and saltwater characteristics were analysed and compared. Fish samples were
collected by using trawl net from both Marmara Lake and Homa Lagoon in April 2015. A total of 357 big-scale
sand smelt were sampled of which 185 from Marmara Lake and 172 from Homa Lagoon
were examined without regarding of sexes. Total length and weight distribution of the
specimens were found to vary from 5.6 cm to 8.2 cm and 1.30 g to 3.99 g for Marmara Lake,
from 3.7 cm
to 9.9 cm
and 0.32 g
to 6.30 g
for Homa Lagoon, respectively. The length–weight relationship equations were
estimated as W=0.0059L3.118 (sh(b)=0.068), r=0.920 for Marmara Lake
and as W=0.0077L2.925 (sh(b)=0.062), r=0.929 for Homa Lagoon. The
samples from Marmara Lake showed positive allometric growth, while the samples from
Homa Lagoon showed isometric growth. The condition factor value varied between
0.62 and 0.90 for Marmara Lake and varied between 0.38 and 0.94 for Homa
Lagoon.
