Length-Weight Relationships of Eriphia verrucosa Forskal (1775) from the Aegean Sea (Linnaeus, 1758)

Short communication:The relationships between gut length and prey preference of three pipefish (Syngnathus acus, Syngnathus typhle, Nerophis ophidion Linnaeus, 1758) species distributed in Aegean Sea, Turkey

In this research, gut lengths and numerical occurrence of gut contents (NO%) of Syngnathus acus, Syngnathus typhle and Nerophis ophidion were examined. The specimens were captured with beach seine net in different habitats (vegetated and sandy-vegetated etc.) at the coasts of Aegean Sea between 2006-and 2008. The zooplanktonic preys were mostly consumed by Syngnathus acus and Nerophis ophidion,...

Length- length, length -weight relationship and relative condition factor of pike, Esox lucius Linnaeus, 1758, in Anzali Wetland (Southwest of the Caspian Sea)

The length- length (LLRs), length-weight (LWR) relationships and relative condition factor (Kn) of 505 specimens of pike, (Esox lucius Linnaeus, 1798) from Anzali Wetland, southwest of the Caspian Sea, were studied from April 2012 through March 2013. The length-length relationships among total length (TL), fork length (FL) and standard length (SL) for pike were found to be highly significan...

Two new-born great white sharks, Carcharodon carcharias (Linnaeus, 1758) (Lamniformes; Lamnidae) from Turkish waters of the north Aegean Sea

On July 1, 2008, a new-born great white shark was captured by a commercial gill-netter off the coast of Altınoluk (Edremit Bay, north Aegean Sea), followed by the capture of another juvenile three days later at the same locality during a haul of bottom long-line set by the same fisherman. Before the present study, the smallest free-living white shark from the Mediterranean Sea appeared to be a ...

Length-weight relationships of five species of sturgeon in the Iranian waters of the Caspian Sea

Spatio-Temporal Variation in Length-Weight Relationships and Condition of the Ribbonfish Trichiurus lepturus (Linnaeus, 1758): Implications for Fisheries Management

Knowledge of length-weight relationships for commercially exploited fish is an important tool for assessing and managing of fish stocks. However, analyses of length-weight relationship fisheries data typically do not consider the inherent differences in length-weight relationships for fish caught from different habitats, seasons, or years, and this can affect the utility of these data for devel...
