Abstract :The length–weight relationship, length–length relationship and the condition factor values of Tench, Tinca tinca insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(L., 1758); inhabiting the Sıddıklı Dam was described in this study. A total of 102 specimens captured between September 2015 and August 2016 were used to conduct this study. For each individual, the total length insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TL);, fork length insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(FL); and standard length insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SL); as well as body weight were measured. Sex composition was determined as 49.02 % female, 43.14 % male and %7.84 undetermined sexes. The overall sex ratio showed no significant difference from the expected value of 1:1. Total length and weight of all specimens ranged from 5.9 to 38.6 cm and from 2.4 to 783.24 g, respectively. The length-weight relationships of females and males were W = 0.0068*TL3.232 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(R2 = 0.991); and W = 0.0084*TL3.157 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(R2 = 0.997);, respectively. Weight increased positive allometrically with the total length for both sexes insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(b> 3, P< 0.001);. The mean condition factor values of female and male were 1.305 and 1.330, respectively. This study brought the first data about the species in the Sıddıklı Dam to the literature.
