- Abstract
This study includes the length-weight, length-length relationships and condition factor of Capoeta aculeata in Gamasiab river from Kermanshah province. 50 samples (18 male and 32 female) of C. aculeata were collected from Gamasiab river. All fish were measured for total length, fork length, standard length (0.01 mm precision), and weighed with an electronic scale (0.01 g precision). The length-weight relationship (LWR) was highly significant (P<0.05), with r2 value 0.99. Also, the results showed that the b value is 2.92 for C. aculeata, LWR indicated negative allometric growth (b<3) for C. aculeata in Gamasiab river. All length-length relationships (LLRs) were highly significant (P<0.01), with all coefficient of determination values being >0.98. Also, in the present study, the condition factor of C. aculeata for males and females were 0.83 and 0.87 respectively. The results obtained from this study provide basic information for sustainable fishery management in Iran.
