Abstract
Bu araştırmada Türkiye’nin Karadeniz kıyılarında dağılım gösteren kırlangıç balığının (Chelidonichthys lucerna L. 1758) bazı populasyon özellikleri (boy, ağırlık, boy-ağırlık ilişkisi, cinsiyet oranı ve kondisyon faktörü) belirlenmiştir. Çalışma 2018-2021 avcılık sezonları arasında yapılmıştır. Balık örnekleri bölgede yapılan ticari balıkçılıktan (demersal trol ve uzatma ağları) elde edilmiştir. Türün ortalama, maksimum ve minimum toplam boyu sırasıyla 38.9±0.99 cm, 73.8 cm ve 13.4 cm olarak hesaplanmıştır. İncelenen balıkların boy-ağırlık ilişkisi (LWR) tüm bireyler için W=0.0112L2.9425 olarak saptanmıştır. “b” parametresi, dişiler balıklar için negatif allometrik büyüme (2.9345), erkekler balıklar için izometrik büyüme (2.9535) olarak tanımlanmıştır. Fulton’nun kondisyon faktörü tüm bireyler için 0.926±0.009 olarak belirlenmiştir. İncelenen balıkların dişi erkek oranı ise 1:0.67 şeklinde tespit edilmiştir.

Abstract
Some population features (length, weight, LWR, sex ratio and condition factor) were determined for tub gurnard (Chelidonichthys lucerna L. 1758) distributed in the Black Sea coast of Türkiye in the study. The study was conducted between 2018 and 2021 fishing seasons. Fish samples were obtained from the commercial fisheries (demersal trawls and set nets) in the region. Mean, maximum and minimum total length were calculated as 38.9±0.99 cm, 73.8 cm and 13.4 cm respectively. Length-weight relationship (LWR) of examined fishes was founded as W=0.0112L2.9425 for all individuals. The “b” parameter was defined as negative allometry growth for females (2.9345), isometry growth for males (2.9535). Fulton’s condition factor were calculated as 0.926±0.009 for all individuals. The calculated sex ratio was 1 female: 0.67 male in the examined fishes.
