Abstract :The aim of this study is to determine the length-weight relationship, length-length relationship, and Fulton’s condition factor insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(K); of Capoeta tinca, which is endemic to Turkey. A total of 52 samples were obtained from Bayat Pond in 2017. The total length insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TL); of the samples ranged between 20 and 34 cm. Total weights insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(W); of they also varied from 85 to 446g. Strong correlations were found between length and weight. In the length-weight relationship equation, a and b was found as 0.0144 and 2.9028, respectively. b value was not statistically different from 3 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(t-test, P>0.05);. Therefore, this species showed isometric growth in the Bayat Pond. The value of Fulton’s condition factor was 1.0485. Total length - Fork length insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(FL);, Total Length - Standard length insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SL); and Fork length - Standard length conversion equations were calculated. There was a high correlation between all length types. In this study, the length-weight relationship, length-length relationship, and Fulton`s condition factor values of Capoeta tinca inhabiting Bayat Pond were determined for the first time.
