New Fisheries-related data from the Mediterranean Sea (October 2015)

Abstract

In this third Collective Article, with fisheries-related data from the Mediterranean Sea, we present the historical length distribution of Lophius budegassa in the catch of commercial trawlers in the Greek seas; length-weight and length-length relationships of five flatfish species (Lepidorhombus boscii, L. whiffiagonis, Platichthys flesus, Pegusa lascaris and Solea solea) from different coastal areas of Turkey (Black Sea and Eastern Mediterranean Sea); growth of settled Polyprion americanus and length-weight relationships of this species and of Deltentosteus quadrimaculatus, Capros aper and three commercially important groupers in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea; the age, growth and mortality of Zosterisessor ophiocephalus in the Eastern Adriatic Sea; the length-weight relationship and condition factor of Atherina boyeri in a Central Mediterranean semi-isolated lagoon, and also the length-weight and length-length relationships of three Alburnus species from different inland waters in Turkey.

The Length-Weight, Length-Length Relationship and Condition Factor of Angora Loach, Oxynoemacheilus angorae (Steindachner, 1897) Inhabiting Kılıçözü Stream in Kızılırmak River Basin (Central Anatolia-Turkey)

“…In this situation, there are difficult for studies to be compared with each other and to interpret the results (Yazıcı et al, 2015). Therefore, length-length transformations in fish are useful for comparative studies using different length measures (Yılmaz et al, 2010;Tsagarakis et al, 2015). There are a few investigations on the length-weight, length-length relationship and condition factor of Angora loach from Kızılırmak River basin (Birecikligil et al, 2016).…”

The length-weight and length-length relationships of bluefish, Pomatomus saltatrix (Linnaeus, 1766) from Samsun, middle Black Sea region

“…Therefore, length-length transformations in fish are useful for comparative studies using different length measures (Yılmaz et al, 2010;Tsagarakis et al, 2015). In this study LLR of bluefish were estimated.…”

“…al., 2017;da Silva et al, 2017). In addition, the length-weight relationships can also be used to calculate relative condition factor, setting yield equations for estimating the number of fish landed and in comparing the population in space and time (Le Cren, 1951) and length-length associations are important in comparing growth studies using different length types (Moutopoulos & Stergiou, 2002;Yılmaz et al, 2010;Kashyap et al, 2014;Tsagarakis et al, 2015).…”

“…The relationship between LLR, LWR transformations and morphometric measurements with TL are the important equations used in back calculation. These equations were used in many studies (Hossain, 2010;Yılmaz, Polat & Yazıcıoğlu, 2010;Kashyap et al, 2014;Özdemir, 2015;Tsagarakis et al, 2015;Singh, & Serajuddin, 2017).…”
