| Abstract: | Seasonal variations in Fulton’s condition factor (K) and the length–weight relationship (LWR) were investigated for Capoeta sieboldii in the upper Çoruh 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 × L2.933, W = 0.014 ×L3.001, and W = 0.009 × L3.118 for males, females, and juveniles, respectively. |
