Abstract

In this study, distribution and length-weight relationship of Alburnus kotschyi in upper and middle Ceyhan River Basin has been investigated from April 2014 to June 2016. The fish specimens were sampled by electrofishing and various gill nets from 35 different stations. A. kotschyi specimens have been sampled from 20 stations including; Savrun, Sabun, Hemite, Aksu, Fırnız, Körsulu, Törbüzek, Tekir, Söğütlü and Hurman streams and also Menzelet Reservoir. In the investigated specimens, line lateral scales and gill rakers varied from 50-56 and 14-18, respectively. The value of the exponent b of the length–weight relationships was determined as 3.15.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, Nisan 2014 ve Haziran 2016 tarihleri arasında orta ve yukarı Ceyhan Havzası’nda Alburnus kotschyi’nin dağılımı ve boy-ağırlık ilişkisi belirlenmiştir. Balık örnekleme çalışmaları elektroşoker ve çeşitli ağlar kullanılarak 35 farklı noktada gerçekleştirilmiştir. Alburnus kotschyi; Savrun, Sabun, Hemite, Aksu, Fırnız, Körsulu, Törbüzek, Tekir, Söğütlü ve Hurman çaylarındaki noktalar ile Menzelet Baraj Gölü olmak üzere toplam 20 farklı noktadan tespit edilmiştir. Elde edilen örneklerden A. kotschyi’nin line lateral pul sayısı 50-56, solungaç diken sayısı ise 14-18 arasında değişim gösterdiği belirlenmiş, ayrıca boy-ağırlık ilişkisinden elde edilen b değeri 3,15 olarak tespit edilmiştir.
