Sex composition was 41.58 % (n=79) female and 58.42 % (n=111) male. Female to male sex ratio of the population was found as 1:0.71. Fork length and weight values of overall, female and male specimens ranged from 11.2-55.5 cm/30.2-2860.5 g, 11.2-55.5 cm/30.2-2860.5 g and 12.7-47.5 cm/44.6- 1846.9 g, respectively. K values varied between 1.204 and 4.008. The average value of its was calculated as 2.155±0.041 for females, 2.138±0.046 for males and 2.148±0.030 for overall. The LWR were determined W= 0.0646*FL2.6613 for females, W=0.0389*FL2.8103 for males and W=0.0528*FL2.7202 for overall. The values of b was estimated as 2.66 (females); 2.81 (males); 2.72 in overall. According to b value of LWR, the growth of C.carpio was negatif allometric (b<3, P<0.005). No information currently exists on the LWR of C.carpio in the Tercan Dam Lake, Eastern Anatolia, Turkey. Therefore, this paper is an important contribution to the fisheries management applications.

Introduction habitats and their life cycles (Petrakis and Stergiou, 1995; Froese et al., 2011). Condition The common carp (Cyprinus carpio) belongs factor are also important biological parameter to the Class Osteichthyes (the bony fishes), as it gives us clear knowledge regarding the the order Cypriniformes and the family maturation and spawning of fish at different Cyprinidae, which is considered the largest body lengths during their life span also family of freshwater fish in the world estimating the condition at different months (Anonim, 2020). In Turkey, it has widespread and provides information on the physiological distribution in freshwater ecosystems such as state of the fish in relation to its welfare and natural lakes, pond, dams lakes and rivers based on the hypothesis that heavier fish of a stagnant flowing parts of a large, also rarely given length are in better condition (Bagenal inhabits brackish-water environments and Tesch, 1978). (Demirkalp, 2007; Saylar and Benzer, 2014). The first study on the carp population was C.carpio, which is considered to be a very started by Numann (1958), and many studies important aquaculture species, has been have been made on the length-weight successfully introduced into most freshwaters relationship and condition factor regarding because of high growth speed of length and C.carpio in dam lakes of different geographic weight, high meat yield, nonselective habitat regions of Turkey ( Table 1). However, there use, easy production availability in fish farms is no information available regarding the and tasty meat (Demirkalp, 1992). biological parameter of the common carp population in Tercan Dam Lake. The In fishery science, fish length can often be objective of this study was to investigate and measured more rapidly and easily than weight report the first data on length-weight (Kara and Bayhan, 2008). The general length- relationship and condition factor of C. carpio weight relationships (LWR) provide a which is preferred by local people because of mathematical relationship between the two having high economical value. Also, the data variables, length and weight, so that the presented are compared with results from unknown variable can be easily calculated similar studies. from the known variable (Dar et al., 2012; Sarkar et al., 2012). Condition factor (K) is an 2. Material and Methods expression of relative fatness of fish and generally larger values of K, indicates better 2.1.

This factor is calculated collection from the relationship between the weight of a fish and its length, with the intention of Tercan Dam Lake is a dam built in Erzincan describing the "condition" of that individual province on Tuzla stream for the purpose of fish (Froese, 2006). irrigation and electrical energy production between 1969-1988. It has a surface area of Length-weight relationships (LWR) are 8.85 km2, a drainage volume of 178 million important and have many applications in fish m3, and an irrigation area of 29725 ha. The stock assessments, biomass estimations, geographical location of the study area is as ecological studies and modeling aquatic shown in Figure 2.

In addition, the 39°44'04.30"N, 39°26'26.82"E; 1448 m LWR in important in terms of providing for altitude. the estimation of weight from the length and the calculation of condition indices as well as A total of 190 specimens of C. carpio L., 1758 providing general information about the were colleted from Tercan Dam Lake in May morphology of populations in different 2017-October 2017 using gillnets of various mesh sizes (20, 30, 40 and 55 mm). Fish collected were anesthetized using MS 222, 610 Length-Weight Relationships and Fulton’s Condition Factor of Common carp (Cyprinus carpio L., 1758) from Tercan Dam Lake, Eastern Anatolia, Turkey preserved in 4% formaldehyde solution and combined sex were tested using the student's then transported to the the laboratory for t-test (Zar, 1999). All statistical analyses were further analysis. The collected specimens of done using MS-Excel and SPSS (version C.carpio (Figure 1) were measured for fork 17.0). length (FL, in cm) to the nearest millimeter and total weight (W, in g) using a digital balance with an accuracy of 0.1 g. Sex was firstly recognised by a macroscope observation of the gonads. 2.2. Determination of length-weight relationship and Fulton’s condition factor Figure 1.

The hypothesis of isometric growth was tested through the student’s t-test, with values of p<0.005 considered significant.

The Tercan Dam Lake was composed of 41.58 % degree of correlation between the variables (n=79) female and 58.42% (n=111) male.

  • How Zebra Mussels Threaten to Water Supply Security and Effects of Preventive Measures in Turkey
    Available online at www.worldscientificnews.com WSN 64 (2017) 99-126 EISSN 2392-2192 How Zebra Mussels Threaten to Water Supply Security and Effects of Preventive Measures in Turkey Seyit Aksu1, Dursun Yildiz2, Aysen Pervin Güngör3 1,3Hydropolitics Academy, Güfte Sok. 8/9 06680, Kavaklidere, Ankara, Turkey 2Hydropolitics Association, Güfte Sok. 8/9 06680, Kavaklidere, Ankara, Turkey 1-3E-mail address: [email protected] ; [email protected] ; [email protected] ABSTRACT Water mismanagement, overuse, unplanned and uncoordinated water management and climate change effects can be counted as emerging threats on renewable water resources and sustainable water use. These effects can also lead to a water supply security threats for the end user of water.In another words, water supply security is a very important part of the water security chains and directly depends on operational security of the water supply systems. Turkey has experienced with zebra mussels problems in Atatürk Dam and HEPP since 1997. Zebra Mussels accumulation has also created some problems in Birecik Dam in 2000. DSI (DG State Hydraulic Works) has started the site investigation on monitoring studies in Kesikköprü Dam and Atatürk Dam during years of 2001 and 2002. According to DSİ report (1), in Turkey, 629 small and large dams, 384 irrigation schemes, 98 water supply systems has been opened by State Hydraulic Works (DSİ) since 2005. Private sector has also built 510 river and canal type hydroelectric power plants since 2008. More than 100 small HEPP projects are under construction in different basins. About 550 small dams mainly for irrigation purposes are planned to built in near future.
