relationships were investigated for <i>S.
scrofa </i> from İzmir Bay, Aegean Sea. All fish sample lengths and weights were
recorded to the nearest 0.01 cm and to 0.01 g. </span> <span style="font-size:11pt;line-height:107%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;">The measured total length values for females, males and combined sexes
were 16-30.2 cm; 17.7-28 cm and 16-30.2 cm respectively. The weight values for
females, males and combined sexes were 73.20-441 g; 89.80-378 g and 73.20-441 g
respectively. </span> <span lang="en-us" style="font-size:11pt;line-height:107%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;" xml:lang="en-us">According to t test results, there were no
statistically significant differences for <i>S.
scrofa </i>species (P˃0.05); therefore, female and male samples were evaluated
together.

and their growth type was isometric. Total </span> <span class="tlid-translation"> <span style="font-size:11pt;line-height:107%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;">length-standard length
relationship equations were determined as y=1.287x+0.112 (r²=0.97) </span> </span> <span lang="en-us" style="font-size:11pt;line-height:107%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;" xml:lang="en-us">. This study is
helpful in providing information about length-weight and length-length
relationships and the current study can be useful to compare stocks of the
species in the different habitats. </span> <br /> </p>}, number={4}
