Abstract :In this study, length-weight relationship and condition factor of L. mormyrus were determined in the Black Sea. 306 individuals insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(170 female and 136 male); of the species were caught between 2017and 2018 with trammel nets. The mean length and the mean weight of the specimens were determined as 18.18 cm + 2.01 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Min:15.7 - Max:31.0); and 79.16 g + 38.20 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Min:49.23 - Max:393.8);, respectively. The length - weight relationship was described by the following formula W = 0.0147 L 2.9475 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(R² = 0.9421); with a negative allometric growth. Fulton condition factor insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(K); was calculated, 1.17 for all samples.
