Abstract

This study was carried out in order to determine
population parameters of Planiliza
abu in
August 2014, May and July 2015 in Azaplı Lake and Kartalkaya Dam Lake, Ceyhan
River Basin. A total of 370 specimens analyzed. Age of the specimens ranged
from 0 to VI. age groups and dominant age group was III (30.81%). Total length
varied from 4.0-23.1 cm with the mean of 14.17±3.11 cm and total weight ranged
from 1.06 to 160.10 with the mean of 39.49±24.95 g. Length-weight relationship
were estimated W=0.0114L^3.022. Estimated population
parameters were calculated as L_∞:
27.87 cm, k: 0.189 year^-1,
t_o: -1.09 year, Φꞌ: 2.89 and K: 1.13 for the population. Mortality and exploitation rates also
estimated as Z: 0.40, M: 0.33, F: 0.07 and E: 0.17,
respectively. In the light of these values have been estimated there were no over
fishing pressure on the population

Keywords
