Length-weight and length-length relationships of Red Scorpionfish (Scorpaena scrofa L. 1758) from Aegean Sea (Turkey)
Abstract
In this study, the length-weight and length-length
relationships were investigated for S.
scrofa from İzmir Bay, Aegean Sea. All fish sample lengths and weights were
recorded to the nearest 0.01 cm and to 0.01 g. 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. According to t test results, there were no
statistically significant differences for S.
scrofa species (P˃0.05); therefore, female and male samples were evaluated
together. The length-weight relationship equations as y=0.016x2.993(r²=0.914) for all specimens. The ‘b’ value of LWR was not significantly different from 3.0
and their growth type was isometric. Total length-standard length
relationship equations were determined as y=1.287x+0.112 (r²=0.97). 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.

Abstract
Bu
çalışmada, Ege Denizi İzmir Körfezi’nden S.
scrofa’nın Boy-Ağırlık ve Boy-Boy
ilişkisi incelenmiştir. Tüm örneklerin boyları ve ağırlıkları 0.01cm
ve 0.01 g hassasiyetle ölçülmüştür. Dişi, erkek ve tüm bireylerde ölçülen total
boy değerleri sırasıyla 16-30.2 cm; 17.7-28 cm ve16-30.2
cm’dir. Ağırlık değerleri ise 73.20-441 g; 89.80-378 g and 73.20-441 g’dır. S. scrofa
türü için, t-test sonuçlarına göre önemli bir farklılık olmadığından
dişi ve erkek örnekler birlikte değerlendirilmiştir. Tüm bireyler için
boy-ağırlık ilişki denklemi y=0.016x2.993(r²=0.914)
olarak hesaplanmıştır. Boy-Ağırlık ilişkisinin ‘b’
değeri, 3’den önemli derecede farklı değildir, ve türün büyümesi izometriktir.
Total boy standart boy ilişki denklemi y=1.287x+0.112 (r²=0.97)
olarak belirlenmiştir. Bu çalışma, boy-ağırlık ve boy-boy ilişkileri hakkında
bilgi sağlamada faydalıdır ve mevcut çalışma, türlerin farklı habitatlardaki
stoklarını karşılaştırmak için kullanışlı olabilir.
