Abstract

Length-weight relationships (LWRs) for Hyporthodus haifensis and Mycteroperca rubra were studied using longlines at depths of 5-150 m, in the Gulf of Antalya, northeastern Mediterranean Sea. Fishing operations were carried out daily with 15 fishing boats. A total of 170 individuals were sampled. The LWR relationships of Hyporthodus haifensis and Mycteroperca rubra were calculated as W = 0.009L(3.142) (r(2)) = 0.996 and W = 0.0081L(3.0652) (r(2)) = 0.989 P < 0.05, respectively.
