Abstract


This study investigates the age, growth and maturity of false scad (Caranx rhonchus Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1817) in the İzmir Bay, the Central Aegean Sea. The total length of 392 fish varied between 12.8-36.0 cm and their weights were measured as 23.51-455.44 g. Sex ratio was 1:0.8 (F:M). Sagittal otoliths were used for age determination. Fish were between I-V age groups in the bay. The length-weight relationships were calculated as W= 0.0145*L2.8911 for females; W=0.0168*L2.8425 for males, and W= 0.0132*L2.9259 for all fish. The von Bertalanffy growth parameters were found as L∞= 40.86 cm, K= 0.2181 years-1, to= -1.0584 years for females; L∞= 39.54 cm, K= 0.2156 years-1, to= -0.963 years for males; and L∞= 41.12 cm, K=0.2061 years-1, to= -1.0548 years for all fish, respectively. The growth performance index values (Φ) were 2.532 for females, 2.555 for males, and 2.542 for all fish. The length at first maturity was calculated as 18.53 cm for females, and 18.95 cm for males.

Abstract


Bu çalışmada, Orta Ege Denizi, İzmir Körfezi'ndeki kral balığı (Caranx rhonchus Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1817)'nın yaş, büyüme ve eşeysel olgunluğu araştırılmıştır. 392 balığın total boyları 12,8-36,0 cm arasında değişmekte olup ağırlıkları 23,51-455,44 g olarak ölçülmüştür. Cinsiyet oranı (D:E) 1:0,8’dir. Yaş tayininde sagittal otolitler kullanılmıştır. Balıklar körfezde I-V yaş grupları arasında bulunmuştur. Boy-ağırlık ilişkisi sırasıyla, dişiler için W= 0,0145*L2,8911, erkekler için W= 0,0168*L2,8425 ve tüm balıklar için W=0,0132*L2,9259 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Von Bertalanffy büyüme parametreleri sırasıyla, dişiler için L∞=40,86 cm, K= 0,2181 yıl-1, to= -1,0584 yıl; erkekler için L∞= 39,54 cm, K= 0,2156 yıl-1, to=-0,963 yıl ve tüm balıklar için L∞= 41,12 cm, K= 0,2061 yıl-1, to=-1,0548 olarak bulunmuştur. Büyüme performans indeks değerleri (Φ) dişilerde 2,532, erkeklerde 2,555, ve tüm balıklarda 2,542’dir. İlk eşeysel olgunluk boyu dişilerde 18,53 cm ve erkeklerde 18,95 cm olarak hesaplanmıştır.
