Length-Weight Relationships for an Endemic Species Aphanius transgrediens from Lake Acıgöl (Afyonkarahisar-Turkey)
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.
