%X The present study was carried out concerns a research of the age determination and some growth parameters of chub, Squalius cephalus (Linnaeus, 1758) living in 14 different station from Karasu River (East Anatolia, Turkey). For this purpose, a total of 196 fish specimen (100 females and 96 males) of S.cephalus were captured between 2014 and 2015 by electroshocker. Female/male ratio was 1.04/1. Minimum-maximum length and weight of captured fishes were determined as 7.6-23.9 cm and 4.8-198.2 g, respectively. The age groups were determined between 0 and 6. The parameters of von Bertalanffy growth function estimated as L¡Ş=31.98 cm, k=0.136 year-1, t0=-1.40 year for all individuals. The growth performance index (§¶') value was computed as 2.143. The length and weight relationships W=0.0060L3.27 (R2=0.98) for all individuals. Significant statistical differences in condition factors between age groups and sexes were not found (P > 0.05, t-test)
