A total of 800 individuals, 580 females and 220 males, were caught using by beach-seine during seasonal samplings between March 2016 and February 2017. The total length and weight of the caught specimens ranged from 1.60 to 6.40 cm and 0.042-4.531 g in females; and 2.30-5.00 cm and 0.161-1.872 g in males respectively. Length-weight relationship parameters were calculated separately for each locality and sex. According to the results of growth type test, females had positive allometric growth in all localities, while males isometric in Camalti and Homa, and allometric growth in Gulbahce. The condition factor values estimated for each sex, season and locality varied between 0.67 to 2.35.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAphanius fasciatusmediterranean toothcarpLWRconditionIzmirLENGTH-WEIGHT RELATIONSHIP AND CONDITION FACTOR OF THE MEDITERRANEAN TOOTHCARP, APHANIUS FASCIATUS (VALENCIENNES, 1821) FROM IZMIR COASTAL WATERS (AEGEAN SEA, TURKEY)Article271280478052WOS:000455562400016Q4
