Samplings were conducted from June 2017 to May 2018. Length-based estimations were evaluated in FiSAT II software. Total (Z), natural (M), fishing (F </span> <sub> <span style="font-size:12px;">curr </span> </sub> <span style="font-size:12px;">) mortality, exploitation rate (E </span> <sub> <span style="font-size:12px;">curr </span> </sub> <span style="font-size:12px;">) and CPUEs of all 7 species were determined. Results showed that almost all reference points stayed below the natural and fisheries mortality values. Besides overfishing, pollutants (chemical, physical and biological) and changes in the river morphology may affect the fish populations. Study results could be used for further fisheries management applications. </span> </span> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>}, number={4}, organization={Muğla Sıtkı Koçman Üniversitesi}
