Abstract
The growth and age of the scorpion fish (Scorpanea porcus, Linneaus 1758) were studied using 316 fishes collected from Southeastern Black Sea during the period of March 2012 to April 2013. Age of S. porcus was found between 0 and 7 years and the age group 2 was detected dominant (55.06%). The mean total length and weight of the specimens were found 12.90±0.19 cm and 50.51±2.84 g, respectively. The length-weight relationship for female, male and both sexes were calculated as W=0.0154*L3.1017, W=0.0193*L2.9897, W=0.0189*L3.0122. Von Bertalanffy growth equation parameters considering all individuals were L∞=40.52 cm, K=0.098 year-1, t0=-1.764 year. The growth performance index (Ø) was determined as 2.21.
