Özet
The length–weight relationships (LWRs) were estimated for six non-indigenous fish species, namely, Apogon smithi (Kott-haus, 1970); Ostorhinchus fasciatus (White, 1790); Pomadasys stridens (Forsskåal, 1775); Champsodon capensis Regan, 1908; Torquigener flavimaculosus Hardy & Randall, 1983; and Tyle-rius spinosissimus (Regan, 1908) from Iskenderun Bay, eastern Mediterranean Sea. Their length–weight relationship b values ranged from 2.902 to 3.501, and all regressions were found to be significant for all six species (P < 0.001). This study is the first reference on length–weight relationships for these six non-indigenous fish species from the Eastern Mediterranean Sea coast of Turkey.
