length-weight relationships (LWRs) and length-length relationships (LLRs) for
Rhodeus amarus sampled from the Terme and Terice Streams were calculated in
April-November 2016.  A total of 117 fish
specimens (from Terme = 57, from Terice= 60) were examined.  Total, fork and standard length were measured
(±0.1 cm) and weighted (±0.01 g) for all captured fish. 
Total length varies between 4.5 and 8.9 cm, weight varies between 0.730-9.940
g for all populations.  Length-weight
equations were calculated as W=0.005TL <sup>3.479 </sup> and W=0.004TL <sup>3.586 </sup>
for Terme and Terice, respectively. 
According to analyses bitterling has positive allometric growths for two
localities.  Length-length relationships
equations show that total, fork and standard length values are very strong
between each other (P<0.001, coefficient of determination >0.95).  </span> </i> </p> <p> <i> </i> </p> <i> </i>}, number={2}, publisher={Balıkesir University}
