The
population structure of Aphanius
anatoliae in Lake Eğirdir-Isparta-Turkeywas studied, using 522 fish monthly in 2008. This
study were observed in the number of individuals of each sex, age, weight and size
compositions. In addition, the total length-weight relationship was calculated
as well as the Von Bertalanffy growth equation. A study of the food uptake
throughout the year has been carried by examination of the content of the digestive
track. Males made up 51.92%, and females 48.08% of the population. The length-weight
relationship and Von Bertalanffy growth equation were estimated as W= 0.0232 e 0.098L,
r=0.8262, Lt = 54.51(1 – e –0.279 ( t+1.345)),
respectively. Bacillariophyta, Gammaruspulex and aquatic insectaare the major food items for Aphanius anatoliae.
