study, the length-weight and length-length relationships of chub ( </span> <i> <span style="font-size:14px;">Squalius cephalus, </span> </i> <span style="font-size:14px;">L.1758) sampled from
a few inland waters of the middle Black Sea were investigated. A total of 218
(Abdal (N=44), Akçay (N=57), Terme (N= 55), Yedikır (N=62)) chub individuals
were sampled from different localities. All captured individuals were measured
to the nearest 0.1 cm for total, fork and standard lengths. The weight of each
sample (W) was recorded (0.01 g). According to results of analyses, there were
no statistically significant differences between sexes in terms of length and weight
(P </span> </span> <span style="font-size:14px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;">˃ </span> <span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:’Arial Narrow’, sans-serif;"> <span style="font-size:14px;">0.05). So, entire
populations (female+male) were evaluated together for analyses. The average
total lengths of chub sampled from the Abdal Stream, Akçay Stream, Terme Stream
and Yedikır Dam Lake varies between 11.49±0.792, 10.31±0.518, 10.33±0.289 and
11.11±0.327 cm, respectively. The length-weight relationships (LWRs) were found
highly significant (P < 0.001, r </span> <sup> <span style="font-size:14px;">2 </span> </sup> <span style="font-size:14px;"> > 0.990) for all localities.
The value of ‘b’ of LWR was significantly different from 3.0 in chub and the
growth type is possitive allometric for all localities. The equations of
length-weight relationship were calculated as W=0.007TL </span> <sup> <span style="font-size:14px;">3.224 </span> </sup> <span style="font-size:14px;">,
W=0.006TL </span> <sup> <span style="font-size:14px;">3.285 </span> </sup> <span style="font-size:14px;">, W=0.005TL </span> <sup> <span style="font-size:14px;">3.298 </span> </sup> <span style="font-size:14px;">, W=0.007TL </span> <sup> <span style="font-size:14px;">3.210 </span> </sup> <span style="font-size:14px;">
for Abdal, Akçay, Terme and Yedikır, respectively. Length-length relationship
was also highly significant (P<0.001) with coefficient of determination (r </span> <sup> <span style="font-size:14px;">2 </span> </sup> <span style="font-size:14px;">)
ranging from 0.916 to 0.999. </span> </span> <span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:’Arial Narrow’, sans-serif;"> </span> </p> <p> </p> </div>}, number={2}
