The length-weight relationship was calculated as W = O.O172L e2.68; R2 = 0.71. Mean condition factor of males and females varied between 0.66-0.87% and 0.68-0.86%, while mean GSI values were 0.34-4.83% and 0.47-5.95%, respectively, Percentage meat yield of males and females were varied as 64.21-75.56 and 64.20-81.50, respectively.
