Length-weight relationship of greeneye fish (Chlorophthalmus agassizi) obtained from coast off Hatay (Northeast Mediterranean)
Abstract :
This study was carried out to determine the length-weight relationship of green eye fish (Chlorophthalmus agassizi) that have economic importance and obtained from Northeast Mediterranean. For this purpose, total 454 individuals (165 females and 289 males) of C. agassizi were captured with a commercial trawler form 150-200 m in depth. Minimum-maximum length and weight of captured fishes were determined as 7.8-18.6 cm and 2.3-51.6 g for males and 7.0-17.5 cm and 1.8-42.5 g for females respectively. Length-weight relationships were found as W=0.0038*L3.2432 (r2= 0.969, SEb =0.089) for all individuals, W=0.0035*L3.2825 (r2=0.982, SEb =0.071) for females and W=0.0049*L3.1299 (r2=0. 944, SEb =0.098) for males. Length-weight relationship of this species, all individuals, females and males of this fish species showed a positive allometric growth (b 3).
