Some Biological Parameters of Round Herring, Etrumeus teres (De Kay, 1842) in the Gulf of Antalya (Mediterranean Sea)

Abstract

Etrumeus teres, whose population in the Gulf of Antalya is gradually increasing, is a fish species which migrates from the Red Sea to the Eastern Mediterranean. The settling of the E. teres species in the Mediterranean makes a close observation of its population necessary from the point of view of the possible competition into which it may enter with other species of the eco-system. This study was carried out due to the lack of sufficient research on this subject. The length, growth, age composition, condition factors, and sex ratio of E. teres were studied on the basis of 438 specimens from the Gulf of Antalya. Females made up 55.7% and males 44.3% of the species. Min. and max. standard length was 9.5-22.5 cm in females, 9.5-21.5 cm in males. In the population the average standard length values according to age for females, males and all specimens combined at age I were 14.50, 13.96, 14.23 cm respectively; at age II these were 17.91, 17.90, 17.90 cm; at age III they were 20.89, 20.87, 20.88 cm The length-weight relationships estimated for males, females and all fish were W= 0.00834 L3.1683, W= 0.00787L3.19108 and W= 0.00942L3.12159 respectively. Growth parameter estimates L∞= 33.77 cm, K= 0.20, t0 = -1.6313 were calculated according to von Bertalanffy for all fish. Individuals were between I and III years old and 44.47% of them were I year old and 47.91% of them were II years old. The condition factor was found to be significant in relation to age and months, but nonsignificant in relation to sex.
