Abstract

This study reports length-weight relationships (LWRs) of the 11 fish
species in the Central Black Sea. The values of b ranged from 2.523 (±0.62) for Liza aurata
to 3.445 (±0.56) for Sarda sarda. The median value of b was
2.933. The information about the length-weight relationships of fish species in
the Black Sea is still very scarce and incomplete. The LWR for Sparus aurata
was not recorded before for the Black Sea. Consequently, this paper
contributes the LWR of some Black Sea fishes, especially with S. aurata
and Diplodus annularis, which are given for the first time.

Keywords

2.523 (±0.62)’ten Sarda sarda için
3.445 (±0.56)’e değişmektedir. b’nin medyan değeri 2.933’tür. Karadeniz’de
balık türlerinin boy-ağırlık ilişkileri üzerine bilgi hala eksik ve
tamamlanmamıştır. Sonuç olarak bu makale, özellikle ilk kez verilen S. aurata ve Diplodus annularis'le birlikte bazı Karadeniz balıklarının,
boy-ağırlık ilişkilerine katkıda bulunmaktadır.
