Abstract

In this study, the age and growth of Himri Barbel (Barbus luteus Heckel, 1843) were determined based on specimens collected from Orontes River-Turkey, during the period from February 2004 to January 2005. This population comprised 7 age groups of males and 9 of females. The male and female ratio was 1:1.26 (M:F). Total length-weight relationship was estimated as W = 0.0129TL2.986 for females, W = 0.0125TL3.003 for males. Growth parameters of the von Bertalanffy equation were computed for females and males as: Linfinite= 38.77, Winfinite= 714.23, k = 0.300, t0 = -1.69 and Linfinite= 40.32, Winfinite= 819.35, k = 0.247, t0 = -1.58, respectively. Maximum observed age was 9, suggesting that the species is long-lived.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, Asi nehrinden avlanan Sarıbenli (Barbus luteus) balığının Şubat 2004 - Ocak 2005 tarihleri arasındaki yaş ve büyüme özellikleri belirlenmiştir. Populasyon, erkek bireylerde 7, dişi bireyler ise 9 yaş grubunu kapsamaktadır. Erkek-dişi birey oranı 1:1,26 (E:D) olarak bulunmuştur. Toplam boy-ağırlık ilişkisi dişiler için W = 0,0129TL2.986, erkekler için ise W = 0,0125TL3.003 denklemleriyle tahmin edilmiştir. Von Bertalanffy büyüme parametreleri dişilerde: L∞ = 38,77, W∞ = 714,23, k=0,300, t0 = -1,69 ve erkeklerde L∞ = 40,32, W∞ = 819,35, k = 0.247, t0 = -1,58 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Gözlenen en büyük yaş 9 olup, türün uzun yaşayan bir tür olduğu düşünülmektedir.
