This study involves the investigation of Tinca tinca (L., 1758) living in Kapulukaya Reservoir in Turkey. It was observed that the fish reach sexual maturity at the age of III and the breeding period starts in May and ends in July. The mean monthly gonadosomatic indices varied from 1.38 ±0.06 (in October) to 8.01±1.03 (in May). According to monthly variations of the GSI, spawning of the tench...

Tench is a cyprinid fish that has undergone human-induced translocations. The natural populations of the species are on decline due to habitat loss and spawning grounds degradation. genetic diversity seven was investigated establish knowledge base for successful conservation efforts selective breeding. Twelve microsatellite markers, sequencing 615 bp section mtDNA (Cytb) PCR-RFLP analysis two n...
