Observation on the age, growth and somatic condition of Carasobarbus luteus (Heckel, 1843) and Capoeta trutta (Heckel, 1843) (Cyprinidae) in the Tigris River, Turkey (original) (raw)
2017, Iranian Journal of Fisheries Sciences
This study was carried out to determine some biological characteristics including age, growth and somatic condition of Carasobarbus luteus and Capoeta trutta in the Turkish part of the Tigris River. The examined samples of C. luteus were distributed between II-IX years of age. The length-weigth relations of females and males were calculated as Log W =-4.7314 +3.0113 Log FL and Log W = -4.7631 +3.0263 Log FL respectively. Von Bertalanffy growth equations were estimated as Lt=40.09 [1-e^-0.087036 (t+1.55004)] for females and Lt=38.14 [1-e^-0.080056 (t+2.34838)] for males. The somatic condition was 1.9667 ± 0.1751 for females and 1.9967 ± 0.4205 for males. The observed samples of C. trutta were distributed between I-VI years of age. The length-weigth relationship of females and males were calculated as Log W = -4.6845 + 2.9303 Log FL, Log W = -4.7784 + 2.9746 Log FL, respectively. Von Bertalanffy growth equations were estimated as Lt=35.36 [1-e^-0.082817 (t+4.82738)] for females and Lt...

Age, growth rates and otolith morphometry of Capoeta angorae, collected by using electro shocker, were determined from the Fırnız Stream and Menzelet Reservoir between August 2011 and November 2012. A total of 175 otoliths were obtained from C. angorae that ranged between 7.5 and 27.0 cm L were used in the analysis. The overall male : female ratio (M : F = 1.52 : 1.00) was biased in favour of males. Student’s t-test revealed significant differences between sexes, regarding total length (P < 0.05). The length–weight relationships were calculated as W = 0.0128L2.8703 (R2= 0.975) for females, W = 0.0103L2.9462 (R2 = 0.969) for males and W = 0.0097L2.9629 (R2 = 0.978) for all specimens. Otolith length (OL), width (OW) and radius (OR) were ranged between 1.67 – 3.45 mm, 1.39 – 2.82 mm and 0.89 – 1.70 mm, respectively. The von Bertalanffy growth models were L∞ = 27.55 cm (L), K = 0.465 (year-1), t0 = -0.539 (year), females; L∞ = 22.84 cm (L), K = 0.772 (year-1), t0 = -0.71 (year) males...
