Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to investigate length-weight relationships (LWRs) of Acıgöl toothcarp (Aphanius transgrediens Ermin, 1946) population from Lake Acıgöl, Afyonkarahisar in Turkey. For this purpose, 144 females and 16 males were examined, totally. The total lengths of female, male and total specimens were measured 2.0-4.7 cm, 2.3-4.0 cm, 2.0-4.7 cm. Also, their weights were found 0.15-1.94 g, 0.32-0.82 g, 0.15-1.94 g, respectively. LWRs parameters have been calculated: intercept (a) was found 0.0262, 0.0145, 0.0237; slope (b) was found 2.661, 3.056, 2.732 for females, males and for all specimens, respectively. While growth type was determined negative allometric for females and for all specimens, it was detected isometric for males.

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Türkiye Acıgöl’de dağılım gösteren Acıgöl dişli sazancık (Aphanius transgrediens Ermin, 1946) populasyonunun boy-ağırlık ilişkisinin (BAİ) belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla, 144 dişi ve 16 erkek birey incelenmiştir. Total boy değerleri dişiler, erkekler ve tüm bireyler için 2,0-4,7 cm, 2,3-3,4 cm ve 2,0-4,7 cm olarak ölçülmüştür. Total ağırlık sırasıyla ile 0,15-1,94 g, 0,32-0,82 g,  0,15-1,94 g olarak bulunmuştur. BAİ parametreleri hesaplanmış; kesişim noktası “a” dişi, erkek ve tüm bireyler için sırasıyla, 0,0262, 0,0145 ve 0,0237; eğim “b” değeri ise 2,661, 3,056 ve 2,732 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Büyüme tipi, dişiler ve tüm bireyler için negatif allometrik olarak bulunurken, erkek bireyler için isometrik olarak belirlenmiştir.
