Abstract :The length-weight relationship insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(LWR); for commecially important Ankara barb, Capoeta angorae was studied. A total of 208 specimens, collected from Asi River during the period from March 2015 to February 2016 were examined. The relationship between length and weight of the samples were evaluated as W = 0.020xL2.784 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(R2=0.983);. Negative allometric growth for all individuals was found. Fulton’s condition insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CF); factor values showed significant variations insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P<0.001); for both females insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1.102); and males insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1.068);. To the best knowledge of this study presented the first reference on LWR and Condition Factor insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CF); this species from Asi River.
