Abstract :In this study, a total of 109 specimens insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(57 female and 52 male); of Salaria fluviatilis were captured by tulle net and scooped net between October 2017 and March 2018 from the Asi River system, Turkey. The length-weight relationship was W =0.0013L3.054 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(r²= 0.967); for both sexes with isometric growth. The values of the exponent b of the length-weight relationships insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(LWRs); were 3.055 for females and 3.052 for males. The b values for females, males, and both sexes were not significantly different from 3.0 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P>0.05);. Fulton condition factor insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CF); was calculated 1.3955±0.034 for females, 1.4495±0.042 for males and 1.4212±0.027, for both sexes. Estimations of LWRs and CF for both sexes of S. fluviatilis, captured from Asi River, were provided for the first time.
