Abstract:
In fisheries biology, length-weight (L-W) relationships are
useful for the conversion of growth-in-length equations to
growth-in-weight for use in stock assessment models and to
estimate stock biomass from limited sample sizes (according
to Binohlan and Pauly, 1998; Koutrakis and Tsikliras, 2003;
Valle et al., 2003; Ecoutin et al., 2005; Verdiell-Cubedo et al.,
2006).
In this study the L-W relationships and length-length (L-L)
conversion relationships are reported for 16 species of freshwater
fish caught from rivers of Gaziantep, southern Anatolia.
