The identification and risk assessment of potential biological invaders would provide valuable criteria for the allocation of resources toward the detection and control of invasion threats. Yet, freshwater biologists have made few attempts at predicting potential invaders, apparently because such efforts are perceived to be costly and futile. We describe some simple, low-cost empirical approach...

In this study 288 length-weight relationships of some fish species from the Turkish coasts Black Sea were gathered 138 studies, which conducted by several researchers between 1989 and 2021. For all species, “b” values ranged 2.49 for Trachurus trachurus to 3.75 Alosa caspia. The expected range 2.5<b<3.5 is confirmed fish. It thought that high b value (3.75) given A. caspia may be ...
