Abstract

The condition factors of Trachurus mediterraneus ponticus, Engraulis encrasicolus and Sarda sarda were studied. Mean condition factor for T. mediterraneus ponticus was 0.77±0.28, while it was 0.63±0.17and 2.47±1.43 for E. encrasicolus and S. sarda, respectively. There was a significant difference ( p<0.05) in the mean condition factor of male and female T. mediterraneus ponticus, while in S. sarda and E. encrasicolus there was not a significant difference in the condition factors of males and females. It was observed that the autumn season condition factors of T. mediterraneus ponticus and E. encrasicolus were higher than summer season values.
