Length–weight relationships of 14 fish species from the Gulf of Antalya (northeastern Mediterranean Sea, Turkey)

Population Dynamic Parameters of the Comber Serranus Cabrilla (Teleostei, Serranidae) in Western Mediterranean (Eastern Coast of Algeria)

“…10 -4 TL 2.71 Torcu-Koc et al, 2004 Edremit bay, Turkey TW = 0.0311 TL 2.67 Abdallah, 2002 Alexandria, Egypt TW = 0.039 TL 2.55 Moutopoulos and Stergiou, 2002 Aegean sea, Turkey TW = 0.0186 TL 2.805 Torcu et al, 1998 Edremit bay, Turkey TW = 0.0353 TL 2.61 Goncalves et al, 1997 Atlantic (Portuguese coast) TW = 0.7. 10 -4 TL 2.66 Merella et al, 1997 Balearic Islands (Mediterranean) TW = 0.016 TL 2.82 Petrakis and Stergiou, 1995 Greece TW = 0.022 TL 2.92 Papaconstantinou et al, 1994 Aegean sea, Turkey TW = 0.0276 TL 2.725 Positive allometry Ozvarol, 2014 Antalya gulf, Turkey TW = 0.0091 TL 3.04 Sangan et al, 2007 North East Mediterranean TW = 0.0662 TL 3.22 However many studies recorded negative allometry in Mediterranean (Papaconstantinou et al, 1994;Petrakis, and Stergiou 1995;Merella et al, 1997;Torcu et al, 1998;Abdallah, 2002;Moutopoulos and Stergiou 2002;Torcu-Koc et al, 2004;Kapiris and Klaoudatos 2011;Altin et al, 2015), and in Atlantic (Goncalves et al, 1997) (Table 1). Only Sangan et al (2007) and Ozvarol (2014) showed that the weight of the individual fish grows faster than its lengths (majored allometric) (Table 1).…”

Only Sangan et al (2007) and Ozvarol (2014) showed that the weight of the individual fish grows faster than its lengths (majored allometric) (Table 1). This dissimilarity of results between the areas might be related to the seasons, maturity stages, feeding behavior, sampling methods or sample size of different studies.…”

Weight-length relationships of 3 demersal fish species from Lebanese marine waters, eastern Mediterranean

“…Froese () and Froese, Thorson, and Reyes () had analyzed the WLRs of all fishes available on the Fishbase website (http://www.fishbase.org) using meta‐analysis and Bayesian methods. A few studies carried out by Turkish Authors (Başusta, Başusta, & Özer, ; Ergüden, Alagöz Ergüden, Özdemir, & Gürlek, ; Ergüden, Turan, & Gürlek, ; Gündoğdu, Baylan, & Çevik, ; Özvarol, ; Sangun, Akamca, & Akar, ; Taskavak & Bilecenoglu, ) bring together information on WLRs for demersal species in the northern part of the eastern Mediterranean. This information allowed us comparisons only with S. diaspros , whose WLR shows corresponding negative allometric pattern in Sangun et al., .…”

Occurrence ofNemipterus randalliRussell, 1986 (Nemipteridae) off Izmir Bay, Turkey

“…This is not only the third report of N. randalli for the Mediterranean Sea but also the first report for Turkish seas. Other successive reports of N. randalli in the Mediterranean were from the Gulf of Antalya, Turkey (Gokoglu, Guven, Balci, Colak, & Golani, 2009;Innal et al, 2015;Özvarol, 2014); Iskenderun Bay, Turkey (Erguden, Turan, Gurlek, Yaglioglu, & Gungor, 2010;Keskin, Turan, & Ergüden, 2011); and the Syrian coast (Ali & Saad, 2013). Thus, it seems that N. randalli is wellestablished along the coasts of Antalya, in Mersin and Iskenderun bays in Turkey, and in Israel, Lebanon and Syria.…”
