The Relationships Between Otolith Dimensions-Total Length and Otolith Features of European Perch (Perca fluviatilis L.,1758) Sampled from Yedikır Dam Lake (Turkey)

Bu çalışmanın amacı Yedikır Baraj Gölü’nde yaşayan tatlısu levreğinin otolit özelliklerinin belirlenmesi, total boy ve otolit özellikleri arasındaki ilişkilerin ortaya çıkarılmasıdır. Yedikır Baraj Gölü’nden yakalanan 195 adet örneğin total, çatal ve standart boyları (±0,1 cm) ölçülmüş, ağırlıkları tartılmıştır (±0,01g). Sagittal otolitler sağ ve sol ayrımları yapılarak çıkarılmıştır. Otolitler distal yüzeylerinden fotoğraflanmış ve ağırlıkları (OA) tartılmıştır (± 0,0001 g). Daha sonra otolitlerin eni (OE) ve boyu (OB) (±0,001 mm) ölçümleri Leica Application Suit Ver. 3.8 marka görüntü analiz programı ile ölçülmüştür. Otolit ölçümleri ile total boy arasındaki ilişkilerin hesaplanması için (TB-OE, TB-OB, TB-OA) doğrusal ) ve üssel regresyon modelleri uygulanmıştır. P. fluvialitis türünün sağ ve sol otolitleri arasında OE, OL ve OA bakımından fark olmadığı (P˃0,05) ancak dişi ve erkek bireylerin otolitleri arasında önemli derecede fark olduğu tespit edilmiştir (P<0,05). Otolit ölçümleri ve TB arasındaki ilişkilerin oldukça önemli olduğu belirlenmiştir (P<0,001). İlişkilerin r2 değerleri 0,957-0,969 arasında değişmiştir. Dişi, erkek ve tüm bireylerde TB-OB arasındaki ilişki diğerlerinden daha kuvvetli bulunmuştur. Bu veriler balıkçılık biyolojisi çalışmalarında önem taşımaktadır. Son yıllarda otolit morfolojisi ile ilgili çalışmalar oldukça yaygındır. Otolitin oluşumu ve büyümesi, balığın büyümesi ile ilişkilidir. Bu çalışmanın tür ile ilgili olarak gerçekleştirilecek çalışmalara veri sağlaması ve özellikle stok ayrım çalışmalarında kullanılması düşünülmektedir.
