Identifying growth parameters for two endemic species [Capoeta antalyensis (Battalgil, 1943) and Pseudophoxinus antalyae Bogutskaya, 1992] in Duden Creek, Antalya, Turkey

Abstract

It is hypothesized that Capoeta antalyensis (Battalgil, 1943) and Pseudophoxinus antalyae (Bogutskaya, 1992) might display specific growth characteristics that differ from other species of their genus. Age and growth were described for species from Duden Creek (Antalya, Turkey) from February 2008 to January 2009. The length-weight relationship for all individuals were described by the parameters: a = 0.0143 and b = 2.946 for C. antalyensis and a = 0.0084 and b = 3.251 for P. antalyae. The von Bertalanffy growth parameters based on data from scales were L∞ = 35.78 cm, k = 0.251 year À1 and t 0 = À0.30 for C. antalyensis and L∞ = 22.59 cm, k = 0.232 year À1 and t 0 = À0.78 for P. antalyae. The growth characteristics for these two species are not much different from those of closely related species from the same genus. U.S.

Length-weight relationship of 16 fish species belonging to genusPseudophoxinus(Teleostei: Leuciscidae) from Turkish inland waters

“…Length–weight relationships (LWRs) can be used for estimating the weight corresponding to a given length determining fish condition, convert lengths into biomass, and present growth pattern of fish (Froese, ; Froese, Tsikliras, & Stergiou, ). However, there are only a few studies providing LWRs of Pseudophoxinus species (Ayyıldız, Emre, Yağcı, & Altın, ; Demirci, ; Erk'akan, İnnal, & Özdemir, ; İlhan & Gücer, ; İnnal, ; İnnal, ; İnnal & Özdemir, ; İnnal, Aksu, & Giannetto, ; Koca & Ölmez, ; Yoğurtçuoğlu et al, ). Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the LWRs of 16 species of Pseudophoxinus living in Turkish inland waters.…”

“…In recent years the distribution and systematics of Pseudophoxinus in Turkey have undergone numerous taxonomic changes and intensive investigations. The ecology of the Pseudophoxinus genus has been reported in aquatic systems in terms of distribution, growth properties and parasites (Küçük and Ikiz, ; Soylu and Emre, ; Ergene et al., ; Aydoğdu et al., ,b; Innal, , ).…”
