Abstract

In this
study, the length-weight and length-length relationships of chub (Squalius cephalus, L.1758) sampled from
a few inland waters of the middle Black Sea were investigated. A total of 218
(Abdal (N=44), Akçay (N=57), Terme (N= 55), Yedikır (N=62)) chub individuals
were sampled from different localities. All captured individuals were measured
to the nearest 0.1 cm for total, fork and standard lengths. The weight of each
sample (W) was recorded (0.01 g). According to results of analyses, there were
no statistically significant differences between sexes in terms of length and weight
(P˃0.05). So, entire
populations (female+male) were evaluated together for analyses. The average
total lengths of chub sampled from the Abdal Stream, Akçay Stream, Terme Stream
and Yedikır Dam Lake varies between 11.49±0.792, 10.31±0.518, 10.33±0.289 and
11.11±0.327 cm, respectively. The length-weight relationships (LWRs) were found
highly significant (P < 0.001, r² > 0.990) for all localities.
The value of ‘b’ of LWR was significantly different from 3.0 in chub and the
growth type is possitive allometric for all localities. The equations of
length-weight relationship were calculated as W=0.007TL^3.224,
W=0.006TL^3.285, W=0.005TL^3.298, W=0.007TL^3.210
for Abdal, Akçay, Terme and Yedikır, respectively. Length-length relationship
was also highly significant (P<0.001) with coefficient of determination (r²)
ranging from 0.916 to 0.999.

Abstract

Bu çalışmada orta Karadeniz Bölgesi’ndeki bazı içsularda yaşayan
tatlısu kefalinin (Squalius cephalus, L.1758) boy-ağırlık ve boy-boy
ilişkileri incelenmiştir. Toplamda 218 (Abdal (N=44), Akçay (N=57), Terme (N=
55), Yedikır (N=62)) örnek farklı lokalitelerden örneklenmiştir. Yakalanan tüm
örneklerin total, çatal ve standart boyları (0.1 cm) ölçülmüştür. Her bir
örneğin ağırlığı (W) kaydedilmiştir (0.01 g). Analiz sonuçlarına göre
cinsiyetler arasında boy ve ağırlık bakımından istatistiksel olarak önemli bir
farklılık yoktur (P˃0.05). Bu sebeple tüm populasyon (dişi+erkek)
analizlerde birlikte değerlendirilmiştir. Abdal Çayı, Akçay Çayı, Terme Çayı ve
Yedikır Baraj Gölü’nden örneklenen tatlısu kefalinin ortalama total boyları
sırasıyla 11.49±0.792, 10.31±0.518, 10.33±0.289 ve 11.11±0.327 cm arasında
değişmektedir. Boy-ağırlık ilişkileri tüm lokaliteler için önemli bulunmuştur
(P < 0.001, r² > 0.990). Boy-ağırlık ilişkisinin “b” değeri
istatistiksel anlamda 3’ten faklıdır ve tüm lokaliteler için büyüme tipi
pozitif allometriktir. Boy-ağırlık ilişkilerinin denklemleri sırası ile Abdal,
Akçay, Terme ve Yedikır için W=0.007TL^3.224, W=0.006TL^3.285,
W=0.005TL^3.298, W=0.007TL^3.210olarak
hesaplanmıştır. Boy-boy ilişkilerinin regresyon katsayıları 0.916 ile 0.999
arasında değişim göstermektedir ve istatistiksel anlamda önemlidir
(P<0.001).
