Summary
In this study, length-weight relationships are presented for five Symphodus species (Symphodus cinereus, Symphodus mediterraneus, Symphodus ocellatus, Symphodus rostratus, Symphodus tinca) from Izmir Bay, Aegean Sea. Samples were caught in depths of 15-20 m by bottom trawls between January 2005 and May 2006. The value of the slope ,-b-, ranged between 2.907 and 3.292. Isometric growth was determined for S. mediterraneus and S. tinca, while positive allometry was observed for S. cinereus, S. ocellatus and S. rostratus.
