TY - JOUR TT - Preliminary study on Length-weight relationship and condition factor of Liocarcinus depurator (Linnaeus, 1758) (Brachyura: Portunidae) craps species existing in the Ordu prefecture AU - Aydın, Mehmet AU - Karadurmuş, Uğur AU - Mutlu, Cengiz PY - 2013 DA - March JF - Karadeniz Fen Bilimleri Dergisi JO - KFBD PB - Giresun Üniversitesi WT - DergiPark SN - 2564-7377 SP - 112 EP - 121 VL - 3 IS - 8 KW - L. depurator KW - Crustacea KW - Ordu KW - Yengeç N2 - The study was carried out during 2011 period by samplings of the Liocarcinus depurator based on discard sampling from the landing points of commercial boats that catching horse mackerel and red mullet.This study was carried out in order to determine various morphological and growth properties of Liocarcinus depurator in the region. The sex ratio (female/male) of 244 samples was calculated as 1:0.04. The average carapace length and width were determined as 21.6 mm and 26.6 mm for female, 30.1 mm and 37.7 mm for male respectively. The average weight of crabs was determined as 5.2 g for females and 13.95 g for males. The highest relationship was determined between carapace width and weight for females, the lowest relationship was determined between carapace length and width for males. According to carapace length, the average condition factor was calculated as 0.0496 ± 0.0065 for females, 0.0499 ± 0.0057 for males UR - https://dergipark.org.tr/tr/pub/kfbd/article/238621 L1 - https://dergipark.org.tr/tr/download/article-file/206986 ER -
