Length And Weight Parameters of The Loach, Oxynoemacheilus Veyseli (Nemacheilidae) in Bozku？ Creek (Kars-Turkey)

This study describes the length–weight relationship (LWR) of Oxynoemacheilus veyseli from the Bozku？ Creek (Aras River Basin) in Turkey. A total of 46 specimens were obtained by electroshock methods between May 2011 and September 2013. Total lengths ranged from 3.9 to 10.0 cm. The length–weight relationship showed a negative allometric growth (b = 2.8211; R2 = 0.97). The study presents the first reference on LWR (length-weight relationship) for this species
