Length-Weight Relationships of Fistularia commersonii Rüppell 1835 from the Northeastern Mediterranean Sea, Türkiye

Abstract

In this study, the length-weight data for bluespotted cornetfish, Fistularia commersonii in the Iskenderun Bay (NE Mediterranean Sea, Türkiye) was reported. F. commersonii specimens were caught from Iskenderun Bay between September 2018 and March 2019. The total length and total weight of both sexes varied from 23.0-108.1 cm and 4.0-599.58 g. The length-weight relationship was determined as W= 0.0005xL2.963 (R2= 0.969) with negative allometric growth for both sexes. The values of the exponent b of the length-weight relationships (LWRs) were 2.993 for females and 2.925 for males. This present study provides the first comprehensive gender-based description of the length-weight relationships of F. commersonii from the northeastern Mediterranean Sea, Türkiye
