Determination of some biological properties of The Mirror Carp (Cyprinus carpio Linnaeus, 1758) in Oymapinar Dam Lake (Antalya)

Our research area, Oymapinar Dam Lake is a hydroelectric power source. It is not allowed to evaluate drinking water and irrigation water and aquaculture and to hunt in the reservoir. Between April 2017 and March 2018, expensive carp (Cyprinus carpio Linnaeus, 1758) examined growth and condition with age, height and weight distribution. The age of the 128 mirror carp was 0-IX. Females accounted for 50.8% of the samples and 49.2% of them were male. Females' fork lengths range from 73.87 g to 7089.5 g in the range of 14.5 to 66.6 cm; The fork lengths of the males range from 11.7 to 57.7 cm, ranging from 41.73 g to 5243.31 g. 1. Age group shows the most dominant age group with 26.6%. The length-weight relationship was determined as female-male in the population: W = 0.0356 L2.8995. Von Bertalanffy growth rates for all individuals were found as L∞ = 90,15, W∞ = 27841,57, k = 0,076, t0 = -1,403. It was found that the status factor ranged from 3.55 in March to 2.33 in September. The decrease in the number of fourth samples during the study period is indicative of the trace of hunting pressure. We're in the reservoir for a runaway. In order to protect the C. carpio population, control should be increased and poaching should be prevented.
