Abstract :This study provides the length-weight relationships of four fish species that belong to the Labridae family from the Rize coast in the south-eastern Black Sea, Turkey; insert ignore into journalissuearticles values( Symphodus ocellatus insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Linnaeus, 1758);, Symphodus cinereus insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Bonnaterre, 1788);, Symphodus tinca insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Linnaeus, 1758); and Symphodus roissali insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Risso, 1810););. A total of 720 fish samples were collected with trammel net between June 2015 and May 2016. The sample sizes, minimum and maximum lengths and weights, length-weight relationships, parameters of a and b , ± 95% CI of b , r 2 , growth type and statistical analyses of the relationship were determined. The b value estimates varied between 2.73 and 3.21. The r 2 value estimates varied between 0.76 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values( S. ocellatus ); and 0.91 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(other species);.
