For this purpose, a total of 196 fish specimen (100 females and 96 males) of S.cephalus were captured between 2014 and 2016 by electroshocker. Female/male ratio was 1/0.96. Minimum-maximum length and weight of captured fishes were determined as 7.6-23.9 cm and 4.8-198.2 g, respectively. The age groups were determined between 0 and 6. The parameters of von Bertalanffy growth function estimated as L-infinity=31.98 cm, k=0.136 year(-1), t(0)=-1.40 year for all individuals. The growth performance index (phi&gt;) value was computed as 2.143. The length and weight relationships W=0.0060L(3.27) (R-2=0.98) for all individuals. Significant statistical differences in condition factors between age groups and sexes were not found (P &gt; 0.05, t-test).</dc:description><dc:publisher>EGE UNIV, FAC FISHERIES</dc:publisher><dc:date>2019</dc:date><dc:type>Article</dc:type><dc:identifier>https://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/munzur/4549</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>https://doi.org/10.12714/egejfas.2019.36.1.03</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>1300-1590</dc:identifier><dc:language>en</dc:language><dc:relation>SU URUNLERI DERGISI</dc:relation><dc:rights>info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess</dc:rights><dc:type>info:eu-repo/semantics/article</dc:type><dc:identifier>https://munzur-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/munzur/4549</dc:identifier></oai_dc:dc></metadata></record></GetRecord></OAI-PMH>
