A total of 720 fish samples were collected with trammel net between June 2015 and May 2016. The sample sizes, minimum and maximum lengths and weights, length-weight relationships, parameters of <i>a </i> and <i>b </i>, ± 95% CI of <i>b </i>, r <sup>2 </sup>, growth type and statistical analyses of the relationship were determined. The <i>b </i> value estimates varied between 2.73 and 3.21. The r <sup>2 </sup> value estimates varied between 0.76 ( <i>S. ocellatus </i>) and 0.91 (other species). </span> <br /> </p>}, number={3}, publisher={Adem Yavuz SÖNMEZ}
