Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the length-weight relationship, length-length relationship, and Fulton’s condition factor (K) of Capoeta tinca, which is endemic to Turkey. A total of 52 samples were obtained from Bayat Pond in 2017. The total length (TL) of the samples ranged between 20 and 34 cm. Total weights (W) of they also varied from 85 to 446g. Strong correlations were found between length and weight. In the length-weight relationship equation, a and b was found as 0.0144 and 2.9028, respectively. b value was not statistically different from 3 (t-test, P>0.05). Therefore, this species showed isometric growth in the Bayat Pond. The value of Fulton’s condition factor was 1.0485. Total length - Fork length (FL), Total Length - Standard length (SL) and Fork length - Standard length conversion equations were calculated. There was a high correlation between all length types. In this study, the length-weight relationship, length-length relationship, and Fulton's condition factor values of Capoeta tinca inhabiting Bayat Pond were determined for the first time.
