A total of 117 fishspecimens (from Terme = 57, from Terice= 60) were examined. Total, fork and standard length were measured(±0.1 cm) and weighted (±0.01 g) for all captured fish.Total length varies between 4.5 and 8.9 cm, weight varies between 0.730-9.940g for all populations. Length-weightequations were calculated as W=0.005TL3.479 and W=0.004TL3.586for Terme and Terice, respectively.According to analyses bitterling has positive allometric growths for twolocalities. Length-length relationshipsequations show that total, fork and standard length values are very strongbetween each other (P<0.001, coefficient of determination >0.95).

Toplam 117 balık örneği (Terme’den=57,Terice’den=60) incelenmiştir. Tümbalıkların total, çatal ve standart boyları ölçülmüş (±0.1cm) ve ağırlıkları tartılmıştır (±0.01 g). Tüm populasyonlar için total boylar 4.5 ve 8.9cm arasında, ağırlıklar 0.730-0.940 g arasında değişmiştir. Boy-ağırlık ilişkisi denklemleri Terme veTerice için sırası ile W=0.005TL3.479, W=0.004TL3.586olarak hesaplanmıştır. Analizsonuçlarına göre her iki habitatta da acı balık pozitif allometrik büyümeözelliğine sahiptir. Boy-boy ilişkidenklemleri total, çatal ve standart boylar arasında birbirleri ile çok güçlüilişki olduğunu gösterir (P<0.001, belirtme katsayısı >0.95).
