Length-weight relationships of the 3 Tetraodontidae (Lagocephalus sceleratus, Lagocephalus spadiceus, Lagocephalus suezensis) in the Antalya Bay
Journal Title: Turkish Journal of Maritime and Marine Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
In this study, the length (L) - weight (W) relationships of the 3 Tetraodontidae (Lagocephalus sceleratus, Lagocephalus spadiceus, Lagocephalus suezensis) in the Antalya Bay were determined. The fish samples were obtained between 2008 and 2011 by gillnet, trammel net, trawl and fishing line. Total length and weight of each individual were recorded with an accuracy 0.1 cm and 0.01 g, respectively. During the sampling period, a total number of 1225 individuals belonging to 3 species were collected and measured. The minimum and the maximum “b” values of the length-weight relationship among these 3 species were estimated as 2.7868 (for L. spadiceus) and 2.9814 (for L. sceleratus), respectively. Growth was found negative allometric for all species.
