Determination of Some Population Parameters of Alburnus caeruleus (Heckel, 1843) from Merzimen Stream
Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the population parameters of Alburnus caeruleus in the Merzimen Stream, Euphrates Basin. A total of 347 specimens were analyzed the age varied from 0-III and the majority of them are II. age (44.45%) followed by I., III. and 0 age classes, respectively. Total length ranged from 2.6 to 8.4cm and weight varied from 0.11 to 6.82g, and the average length and weight were calculated as 5.53±1.12cm and 1.83±1.23g, respectively. The length-weight relationship was expressed as W=0.0062*TL3.221. The von Bertalanffy growth parameters were found as L∞: 10.50 cm, k: 0.3665 and to: -0.89, growth coefficient was Φꞌ: 3.7 and condition factor was K: 0.37. Total, natural and fishing mortalities rates and exploitation rate were estimated as Z: 0.79, M: 0.55, F: 0.24 and E: 0.30, respectively.
