Length-Weight Relationships of Ten Fish Species From Lake Eğirdir, Turkey
Abstract
In this study, length-weight relationship for 10 fish species (Cyprinus carpio (common and mirror carp), Aphanius iconii, Atherina boyeri, Carassius gibelio, Pseudophoxinus egridiri, Pseudorasbora parva, Sander lucioperca, Seminemacheilus ispartensis and Vimba vimba) in Lake Eğirdir were assessed. Samples were obtained monthly from January 2010 to June 2011 of Lake Eğirdir, in Turkey. Moreover, for 3 Anatolian endemics species (A. iconii, S. ispartensis and P. egridiri) determined for the first time new maximum lengths are recorded.
