Length-Weight Relationships of Paraphanius similis in Mamasın and Seyhan Reservoirs (Turkey)

Abstract

The length-weight relationship of Paraphanius similis in the Mamasın (Aksaray) and Seyhan (Adana) reservoirs were studied on the basis of n=193 fish specimens (n_females=85; n_males=108). Fish samples were collected using seine net net in 2016 year. The length-weight relationship was found as W=0.011 L^3.589 (r=0.982) for females and W= 0.015 L^3.406 (r=0.939) for males in Mamasın Reservoir; it was found as W=0.017 L^3.083 (r=0.980) for females and W=0.008 L^3.725 (r=0.974) for males in Seyhan Reserovir. The present study considers the first record and comprehensive information on the length-weight relationship of P. similis in the Mamasın Reservoir. The results of this study might support to the conservation of this species and contribute the knowledge on its ecology and biology.
