An investigation on length-weight relationships, condition and reproduction of the bleak, Alburnus alburnus (L.) population in Çaygören Dam Lake (Balikesir), Turkey

Abstract

In this study, length-weight relationships, condition, and reproduction characteristics of 713 bleak (Alburnus alburnus L.) caught from the Çaygören Dam Lake were investigated monthly in the years of 2010-2012. Sex ratio was found as 1:1.04, corresponding to 49% males and 51% females. b values were estimated as 3.26 and 3.22 for females and males (b>3.0) Values of monthly conditions were found to be shown a similar pattern for both sexes. The values of hepatosomatic index were pointed out to be parallel with the values of condition factor. Spawning period of this species was determined to occur between April and August.
