Summary
Length–weight relationships (LWRs) were evaluated for six freshwater species from the Seyhan Reservoir (south‐eastern Anatolia, Turkey): Alburnus orontis, Capoeta angorae, Capoeta erhani, Garra rufa, Luciobarbus pectoralis and Salaria fluviatilis. A total of 525 specimens were captured from five locations using gill nets, scoop nets, and trammel nets of various mesh sizes in November 2012, March 2013 and September 2013. Regressions of all species were found to be significant. These are the first LWR reports for these species from the Seyhan River basin, and the first LWR reports for three of these species (Alburnus orontis, Garra rufa, Luciobarbus pectoralis) from inland waters of Turkey.
Summary
The length–weight relationships (LWRs) were estimated for six non‐indigenous fish species, namely, Apogon smithi (Kotthaus, 1970); Ostorhinchus fasciatus (White, 1790); Pomadasys stridens (Forsskål, 1775); Champsodon capensis Regan, 1908; Torquigener flavimaculosus Hardy & Randall, 1983; and Tylerius spinosissimus (Regan, 1908) from Iskenderun Bay, eastern Mediterranean Sea. Their length–weight relationship b values ranged from 2.902 to 3.501, and all regressions were found to be significant for all six species (P < 0.001). This study is the first reference on length–weight relationships for these six non‐indigenous fish species from the Eastern Mediterranean Sea coast of Turkey.
A single female specimen of the Kitefin shark Dalatias licha (Dalatiidae), 118 cm in total length (TL), was caught by a commercial trammel net at a depth of 40 m on 11th June 2016 off the Çevlik coast (Eastern Mediterranean), Turkey. The present paper was the first confirmation of an adult female specimen of D. licha from the Mediterranean coast of Turkey. Measurements of the specimen were given and the geographical distribution of the species in the Mediterranean was documented.
İskenderun Körfezi'nde (Doğu Akdeniz Bölgesi) Ergin Dişi Uçurtma Yüzgeçli Köpekbalığı, Dalatias licha'nın (Bonnaterre, 1788) VarlığıÖzet: Türkiye'nin Çevlik (Doğu Akdeniz) sahillerinden 11 Haziran 2016 tarihinde 118 cm toplam boyunda uçurtma yüzgeçli köpek balığı, Dalatias licha'nın tek bir dişi bireyi ticari troll ağı ile 40 m derinlikten avlanmıştır. Sunulan bu makale yetişkin dişi bir birey D. licha'nın Türkiye'nin Akdeniz sahillerinden ilk teyididir. Örneğin ölçümleri yapılarak bu türün Akdeniz'deki coğrafik dağılımı belgelenmiştir.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
