Özet
In this study, it is aimed to investigate length-weight relationships (LWRs) of Acıgöl toothcarp ( Aphanius transgrediens Ermin, 1946) population from Lake Acıgöl, Afyonkarahisar in Turkey. For this purpose, 144 females and 16 males were examined, totally. The total lengths of female, male and total specimens were measured 2.0-4.7 cm, 2.3-4.0 cm, 2.0-4.7 cm. Also, their weights were found 0.15-1.94 g, 0.32-0.82 g, 0.15-1.94 g, respectively. LWRs parameters have been calculated: intercept ( a ) was found 0.0262, 0.0145, 0.0237; slope ( b ) was found 2.661, 3.056, 2.732 for females, males and for all specimens, respectively. While growth type was determined negative allometric for females and for all specimens, it was detected isometric for males.
