Özet

Seasonal variations in Fulton's condition factor (K) and the length-weight relationship (LWR) were investigated for Capoeta sieboldii in the upper Coruh River (Turkey) from March 2000 to February 2001. There was a slight seasonal variation in condition, with generally lower values in summer and winter, and higher values in autumn. LWR was calculated as W = 0.016 x L-2.933, W = 0.014 x L-3.001, and W = 0.009 x L-3.118 for males, females, and juveniles, respectively.
