Abstract

In this study, length-weight relationship and
condition of big-scale sand smelt from two different localities with freshwater
and saltwater characteristics were analysed and compared. Fish samples were
collected by using trawl net from both Marmara Lake and Homa Lagoon in April 2015. A total of 357 big-scale
sand smelt were sampled of which 185 from Marmara Lake and 172 from Homa Lagoon
were examined without regarding of sexes. Total length and weight distribution of the
specimens were found to vary from 5.6 cm to 8.2 cm and 1.30 g to 3.99 g for Marmara Lake,
from 3.7 cm
to 9.9 cm
and 0.32 g
to 6.30 g
for Homa Lagoon, respectively. The length–weight relationship equations were
estimated as W=0.0059L^3.118 (sh(b)=0.068), r=0.920 for Marmara Lake
and as W=0.0077L^2.925 (sh(b)=0.062), r=0.929 for Homa Lagoon. The
samples from Marmara Lake showed positive allometric growth, while the samples from
Homa Lagoon showed isometric growth. The condition factor value varied between
0.62 and 0.90 for Marmara Lake and varied between 0.38 and 0.94 for Homa
Lagoon.

Marmara Gölü (Manisa) ve Homa Lagünü (İzmir)’nden Yakalanan Gümüş Balığı (Atherina boyeri Risso, 1810)’nın Boy-Ağırlık İlişkisi ve Kondisyonu

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, tatlısu ve tuzlusu karakterindeki iki
farklı ortamdan yakalanan Gümüş balığının boy-ağırlık ilişkisi ve kondisyonunun belirlenmesi ve
karşılaştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Balık örnekleri, Nisan 2015 döneminde, Marmara
Gölü ve Homa Lagünü’nden tül ığrıp ile yakalanmıştır.  Marmara Gölü’nden 185 adet ve Homa Lagünü’nden
172 adet olmak üzere toplam 357 Gümüş balığı, cinsiyet farkı gözetilmeksizin
incelenmiştir. Total
boy ve ağırlık dağılımı Marmara Gölü’nde 5.6-8.2 cm ve 1.30-3.99 g, Homa Lagünü’nde ise 3.7-9.9 cm ve 0.32-6.30 g olarak belirlenmiştir.
Boy-ağırlık ilişkisi eşitlikleri Marmara Gölü için; W=0.0059L^3.118 (sh(b)=0.068),
r=0.920, Homa Lagünü için; W=0.0077L^2.925 (sh(b)=0.062), r=0.929
olarak hesaplanmıştır. Marmara Gölü örneklerinde pozitif allometrik, Homa
Lagünü örneklerinde ise izometrik büyüme modeli gözlenmiştir. Kondisyon faktörü
değerleri, Marmara Gölü örnekleri için 0.62-0.90, Homa Lagünü örnekleri içinse
0.38-0.94 aralığında değişim göstermiştir.
