Length-weight relationship of cartilaginous fish species from Central Aegean Sea (Izmir Bay and Sığacık Bay)

14514

In this study, length–weight relationship parameters of 16 out of 30 caught cartilaginous fish species examined (11 Sharks, 18 Batoids and 1 Chimaera) from the Central Aegean Sea and presented. Samples were caught from depths of 500 m by research vessel and a commercial trawler, between 2008-2009. The values of the slope b in the length-weight relationship parameters ranged from 2.79 (Torpedo marmorata) to 3.78 (Scyliorhinus stellaris), a values from 0.0002 (Scyliorhinus stellaris) to 0.9713 (Dasyatis pastinaca). This study has optained and examined the most chondrichthyan species among the studies in the eastern Mediterranean.
