“…In this study, ''b values were very close to 2.600-2.690 in Hirfanlı Dam Lake (Yılmaz et al, 2007), 2.690-2.892 in Koçköprü Dam Lake (Elp et al, 2008), 2.530-2.830 in Apa Dam Lake (Mert et al, 2008), 2.778-2.866 in Altınkaya Dam Lake and 2.866-2.923 in Derbent Dam Lake (Yılmaz et al, 2010b), 2.890 in Hirfanlı Dam Lake (Kırankaya et al, 2014), 2.790 in Marmara Dam Lake (İlhan and Sarı, 2015), 2.807-2.892 in Atatürk Dam Lake (Yüce et al, 2016), but different from 3.027 in Gelingülü Dam Lake (Kırankaya and Ekmekçi, 2004), 3.140 in Ömerli Dam Lake (Tarkan et al, 2006), 3.037 in Kemer Dam Lake (Özcan and Balık, 2007), 3.319 in Almus Dam Lake (Karataş et al, 2007), 2.900 in Seyhan Dam Lake (Ergüden and Göksu, 2009), 2.943-2.991 in Hirfanlı Dam Lake (Yılmaz et al, 2010a), 3.010-3.020 in Bayramiç Dam Lake (Çolakoğlu and Akyurt, 2011), 2.850-2.966 in Damsa Dam Lake (Mert and Bulut, 2014), 3.010 in Almus Dam Lake (Buhan et al, 2016), 2.974 in Gölova Dam Lake (Yüngül et al, 2019). This differences may be caused by several factors including the seasonal effect, habitat type, degree of stomach fullness, gonad maturity, sex, health, preservation techniques, food availability, and differences in the observed length ranges of the specimen caught (Tesch, 1971).…”
