- MakaleAçık Erişim2019Age and some growth parameters of Squalius cephalus (Linnaeus, 1758) inhabiting Karasu River (East Anatolia, Turkey)
Özcan, Ebru Ifakat; Serdar, Osman
The present study was carried out concerns a research of the age determination and some growth parameters of chub, Squalius cephalus (Linnaeus, 1758) living in 14 different station from Karasu River (East Anatolia, Turkey). 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>) 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 > 0.05, t-test).

Ozcan, Ebru Ifakat; Serdar, Osman
In this study, a new method (Artificial Neural Networks) to estimating some population parameters of Tigris loach (Oxynoemacheilus tigris (Heckel, 1843)) collected between 2014 and 2015 in 14 different stations from Karasu River (East Anatolia, Turkey). The total length and weight of the species ranged from 62 to105 mm and from 1.7 to 10.9 g for females and 65 to 100 mm and from 2.4 to 9.8 g for males, respectively. The new maximum length for O. tigris was found to be 105 mm in this study. The length-weight relation of O. tigris was carried out with artificial neural networks (ANNs) and length-weight relationships (LWRs). The results obtained were compared. Length-weight relationships of O. tigris were found as W=0.0049*L-3.29 , R-2 =0.95 for all individuals. According to these values, the growth type of this species was positive allometric (b>3) for all individuals. Regression analysis showed that fish length has high significant correlation with weight (R=0.97, R-2 =0.95, F-1,F-185=31930.3, P<0.001). According to the comparison of the results obtained with MAPE (%), ANNs provide better results than the LWRs. The results of this study could give useful insight that ANNs can be evaluated as an alternative for length-weight relation estimation. The condition factor values (min-max) were observed as 0.680-1.239 for females and 0.699-1.074 for males. No studies have been done before on this species population parameters.
