LENGTH-WEIGHT RELATIONSHIP AND CONDITION FACTOR OF STRIPED PIGGY, POMADASYS STRIDENS IN THE ISKENDERUN BAY

Berna Funda Özbek1 , Gülnaz ÖZCAN2

In this study, the length-weight relationship (LWR) and condition factor of Pomadasys stridens (Forsskål, 1775) in İskenderun Bay, Türkiye were determined. The fish samples were monthly collected by nets from November 2014 to October 2015. The length-weight relationship was expressed as follows: Males W=0.015*TL2.992 (r=0.920), females W=0.028*TL2.749 (r=0.893) and all individuals W=0.013*TL3.033 (r=0.916). Isometric growth was detected in all individuals, while negative allometric growth was detected in females. The average condition factor was found to be 1.422±0.007 for males and 1.444±0.008 for females.
