Abstract

Population structure studies of Aspius vorax (Heckel, 1843) are insufficient despite the species’ commercial importance in Karakaya Reservoir. Thus, the main purpose of this study was to acquire data on some population parameters (age, length- weight relationship, growth, fecundity and mortality) to evaluate the current status of A. vorax for a successful management plan. A total of 249 specimens (102 female and 147 male) were caught and the sex ratio was 1:1.44 (female to male). The age data was estimated from vertebra and ranged between ΙΙ and VΙΙ. Weight increase was allometrical for both sexes. Mean condition factor was CF = 0.839 ± 0.005. The von Bertalanffy growth parameter estimates were L∞ = 93.114 cm, K = 0.153 yrs-1 and to = -1.132 yrs for females, L∞ = 86.494 cm, K = 0.173 yrs-1 and to = -1.078 yrs for males and L∞ = 92.675 cm, K = 0.151 yrs-1 and to = -1. 151 yrs for all individuals. The mean fecundity was 102873. It was found that the stock of A. vorax had been overexploited (E =0.56) in Karakaya Reservoir and the fishing pressure should be reduced to achieve a sustainable fishery.

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, yüksek ekonomik önemine rağmen, Karakaya Baraj Gölü’nde yeterli düzeyde araştırılmamış olan Aspius vorax türünün bu ortamdaki mevcut durumunun belirlenebilmesi için bazı popülasyon parametreleri elde edilmiştir. Toplam olarak 249 birey (102 dişi, 147 erkek) incelenmiş ve eşey oranı erkekler yönüne 1:1,44 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Örnekler ΙΙ- VΙΙ yaş grupları arasında dağılım göstermiştir. Her iki eşey için de büyümenin allometric olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Ortalama kondisyon faktörü tüm bireyler için KF=0,839 ± 0,005 olarak elde edilmiştir. von Bertalanffy büyüme parametreleri dişiler için L∞ = 93,114 cm, K = 0,153 yıl-1 and to = -1,132 yıl, erkekler için L∞ = 86,494 cm, K = 0,173 yıl-1 and to = -1,078 yıl ve tüm bireyler için L∞ = 92,675 cm, K = 0,151 yıl-1 and to = 1,151 yıl olarak hesaplanmıştır. Ortalama yumurta veriminin 102873 olduğu görülmüştür. Yapılan hesaplamalar sonucu Karakaya Baraj Gölü’nde A. vorax stokunun aşırı şekilde sömürüldüğü (E=0,76) ve bu türün bahsedilen ortamda sürdürülebilir avcılığı için üzerindeki av baskısının azaltılması gerektiği anlaşılmıştır
