Biological investigation of barbel fish (Barbus capito pectoralis Heckel, 1843) population in Avşar Dam Lake (Sarıgöl, Manisa, Türkiye)
Abstract
In this study, age composition, sexes, age-length, age-weight and length-weight relationships, condition factor, gonadosomatic index, reproduction period of 375 barbel fish (Barbus capito pectoralis Heckel, 1843), caught from Avşar Dam Lake, were examined. Barbel fish from age classes I to VI were identified and females constituted 65.87% and males 34.13% of samples. Minimum and maximum fork length and total weight values were 12.7–33.7 cm and 32.8–501.6 g respectively. Length-weight relationship was calculated as W= 0.025123*L2.81 for females and W= 0.019997*L2.89 for males. The reproduction period of barbel fish was determined between may-july months, based gonadosomatic index values.
