S. cephalus individuals ranging between I and VI years old were caught from Devres Stream. Studied individuals were between I and VI years old and their sex was determined as 51.67% male and 48.33% female. The fork length and body weight ranged from 8.79 – 19.64 cm and 9.73 – 126.60 g respectively. The von Bertalanffy growth equations were found: Lt = 27.163 [1 – e–0.159 (t+1.47)] for females and Lt = 27.078[1 – e–0.160 (t+1.46)] for males; Wt = 286.14 [1 – e–0.159 (t+1.47)]3.1049 for females and Wt = 284.43 [1 – e–0.160 (t+1.46)]2.9692 for males. The condition factor was calculated as 1.432 and 1.378 for females and males respectively.Read More
