Abstract :This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of global research on condition factor (K) and length–weight relationships (LWR) in fisheries science between 2000 and mid-2025. Utilizing data extracted from the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection, a total of 760 peer-reviewed articles were analyzed through the RStudio Bibliometrix (2025.05.0) and its Biblioshiny interface. The analysis examined publication trends, authorship patterns, international collaborations, citation metrics, and keyword dynamics. Network and thematic mapping techniques, including co-citation and keyword co-occurrence analyses, were employed to uncover the intellectual structure and thematic evolution of the field. The findings reveal a growing academic interest and thematic diversification over the past two and a half decades, particularly after 2010. The research focus has expanded from foundational biological assessments to applied areas such as aquaculture, environmental monitoring, and ecotoxicology. Although international collaboration remains moderate, significant contributions from countries such as China, Bangladesh, and the United States underscore a globally distributed research landscape. The study emphasizes the need for broader regional representation and interdisciplinary integration to support sustainable fisheries management and aquatic ecosystem health.Keywords : Bibliyometrik Analiz, Kondisyon Faktörü, Su Ürünleri Bilimi, Boy-Ağırlık İlişkisi.
