ÖZLÜCE BARAJ GÖLÜ (ELAZIĞ-BİNGÖL) SAZAN POPULASYONUNUN (Cyprinus carpio) MORFOMETRİK VE MERİSTİK ÖZELLİKLERİ

Abstract

This study was carried out to determine some metric and meristic characteristics of the Cyprinus carpio population captured from Özlüce Dam Lake at different times. For this purpose, the average, maximum, minimum, standard deviation, standard error and the coefficients of variation of 47 metric measurements and their ratio to each other belong to 60 scale and mirror carp samples captured from the dam lake are calculated. At the same time, 8 meristic features (the number of scales in the lateral line, the number of transversal scales, the number of spines in the first gill arch, the row and number of pharyngeal teeth and the number of simple and soft rays in the dorsal, ventral, pectoral and anal fins) were examined.
