Length-weight relationship for five elasmobranch species from the Cilician Basin shelf waters (Northeastern Mediterranean)

摘要

In this study, elasmobranch length-weight relationships were estimated for five species caught between June 1999 and May 2003 from the Cilician Basin shelf waters (Northeastern Mediterranean): Raja clavata, Raja radula, Raja asterias, Dasyatis pastinaca, and Gymnura altavela. There were no significant differences between males and females, and only Raja clavata females showed isometric growth.
