TI  - Length-weight relationship and condition of Arnoglossus kessleri Schmidt, 1915 in Iskenderun Bay (Eastern Mediterranean, Turkey)
AB  - Length weight relationship (LWR) studies have an important role in estimating population biomass,determining growth rate and stock status of fishes. In this study a total of 133 scaldback, Arnoglossuskessleri Schmidt, 1915 were caught in Iskenderun Bay between September 2014 and May 2015 using acommercial bottom trawler. As a result, the estimates for b parameter of the LWR ranged between and 2.97,2.68 and 2.74 for males, females and both sexes, respectively. Fulton’s condition (KF) factor values alsorevealed significant variations (p<0.01) for female (1.089) and male (1.100) specimens of A. kessleri. The11.9 cm long male individual found in this study was the longest individual recorded for the MediterraneanSea. No information currently exists on the length weight relationship of A. kessleri in the Mediterraneancoast of Turkey. Therefore, this paper is an important contribution to the science and fisheries managementapplications for this species.
