Length weight relationships of forty-nine fish species from shallow waters of Gökçeada Island, northern Aegean Sea

Length weight relationships of forty-nine fish species from shallow waters of Gökçeada Island, northern Aegean Sea

Length weight relationships (LWRs) of 49 fish species belonging to 18 families from the shallow waters (0 20 m) of GökçeadaIsland were reported. Fish specimens were sampled monthly with a beach seine (0 2 m) and beam trawl (5 20 m) between June 2013and June 2014. The b values estimates varied between 2.66 and 3.59. Five of the 49 species (Arnoglossus kessleri, Scorpaena maderensis,Sy mphodus ocellatus, Sy mphodus rostratus, and Gobius geniporus) presented maximum length values that exceeded their maximumlengths listed in FishBase.
