Relationships Between Fish Sizes and Otolith Sizes for Three Different Gray Mullet Species from Köyceğiz Lagoon (Muğla)

Abstract

In this study, the relationships between fish sizes and otolith sizes were investigated in three mullet species from the Köyceğiz Lagoon. Total length of 263 mullets, 119 Mugil cephalus Linnaeus, 1758, 91 Chelon labrosus (Risso, 1827) and 53 Chelon saliens (Risso, 1810), and the length, width and weight of right and left otoliths were measured. The difference between right and left otolith measurements was not statistically significant, thus the average of right and left otolith measurements was used in this study. The average total lengths of mullets were determined as 29.0 cm, 26.0 cm, 22.5 cm for M. cephalus, C. labrosus and C. saliens, respectively. In this study, the largest otolith length was measured in M. cephalus individuals with 11.66 mm, and the smallest otolith length was measured in C. saliens individuals with 2.93 mm. Biometric relationships between otolith measurements and total length have shown that all studied species are quite suitable for reliable size estimates.

Öz

Bu çalışmada, Köyceğiz Lagünü'ndeki üç kefal balığı türünde balık boyutu ve otolit boyutları arasındaki ilişkiler incelenmiştir. 119 adet Mugil cephalus Linnaeus, 1758, 91 adet Chelon labrosus (Risso, 1827) ve 53 adet Chelon saliens (Risso, 1810) olmak üzere toplam 263 adet kefal balığının toplam boyu ile sağ ve sol otolitlerinin boyu, genişliği ölçülmüş ve ağırlıkları tartılmıştır. Sağ ve sol otolit ölçümleri arasında fark istatistiksel olarak önemli bulunmadığı için bu çalışmada sağ ve sol otolit ölçümlerinin ortalaması kullanılmıştır. Kefal balıklarının ortalama total boyları M. cephalus, C. labrosus ve C. saliens için sırasıyla 29.0 cm, 26.0 cm, 22.5 cm olarak tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışmada incelenen balıklarda en büyük otolit boyu 11.66 mm ile M. cephalus bireylerinde, en küçük otolit boyu ise 2.93 mm ile C. saliens bireylerinde ölçülmüştür. Otolit ölçümleri ve toplam uzunluk arasındaki biyometrik ilişkiler, incelenen tüm türlerin güvenilir boyut tahminleri için oldukça uygun olduğunu göstermiştir (r2=0.912).
