Özet
The length-weight relationship of Paraphanius similis in the Mamasın (Aksaray) and Seyhan (Adana) reservoirs were studied on the basis of n=193 fish specimens (nfemales=85; nmales=108). Fish samples were collected using seine net net in 2016 year. The length-weight relationship was found as W=0.011 L3.589 (r=0.982) for females and W= 0.015 L3.406 (r=0.939) for males in Mamasın Reservoir; it was found as W=0.017 L3.083 (r=0.980) for females and W=0.008 L3.725 (r=0.974) for males in Seyhan Reserovir. The present study considers the first record and comprehensive information on the length-weight relationship of P. similis in the Mamasın Reservoir. The results of this study might support to the conservation of this species and contribute the knowledge on its ecology and biology.
