Abstract

Within this study, the most important species European hake which constitutes 50% of the Sea of Marmara demersal fisheries, has been subjected to estimate age, growth characteristics and natural mortality. Bottom trawl hauls were carried out in 19 stations representing the entire Marmara Sea. Sea surveys were performed in different time periods from 2009 to 2011 (September 2009, December 2009, December 2010 and December 2011). A total of 274 sagittal otoliths (117 females, 75 males and 82 unidentified individuals) were obtained from 2009, 2010 and 2011. Sex ratio was calculated 1:1.5 males to females. Age composition was 0+ to 4+ years, most observed age group was 2+ both for female and male (37%). Growth parameters determined by von Bertalanffy equation were found as L∞= 57.51 cm K=0.27 y-1 and t0=-0.57 y-1. Natural mortality was estimated 0.41 y-1. Our results obtained from the Marmara Sea strongly support the fast growth hypothesis of M. merluccius. Growth rates clearly differ between males and females in this sea which shows hake growth depends on sex.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, Marmara Denizi demersal balık avcılığının %50’sini oluşturan ve stoğu aşırı sömürülmüş berlam türünün (Merluccius merluccius) yaş ve büyüme parametreleri, doğal ölüm oranı belirlenmiştir. Farklı 4 zaman diliminde (Eylül 2009, Aralık 2009, Aralık 2010, Aralık 2011) Marmara Denizi’nin genelini yansıtacak 19 istasyonda dip trol çekimleri yapılarak elde edilen 274 adet bireyin sagitta otolitlerinden yaş okumaları gerçekleştirilmiştir (117 dişi, 75 erkek, 82 cinsiyeti belirsiz birey). Erkek dişi oranı 1:1.5 olarak belirlenmiştir. Yaş okumaları sonucunda bireylerin 0+ ile 4+ yaş aralığında olduğu, 2+ yaş grubunun hem dişilerde hem de erkek bireylerde baskın olduğu görülmüştür. von Bertalanffy büyüme parametreleri L∞= 57.51 cm, K=0.27, y-1 t0=-0.57 y-1 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Doğal ölüm oranı 0.41 y-1 olarak belirlenmiştir. Elde ettiğimiz bu sonuçlar Berlam’ın hızlı büyüme hipotezini güçlü bir biçimde desteklemektedir. Dişi ve erkek bireylerin büyüme oranındaki farklılık berlamın büyümesinin cinsiyete bağlı olduğunu göstermektedir.
