Abstract :This study aims to investigate the biometric characteristics of the invasive cyprinid Carassius gibelio (Prussian carp) inhabiting Bayat Pond, a lentic freshwater body located in Ankara Province, Turkey. A total of 45 individuals were sampled during the spring of 2017 and analyzed for length–weight relationships (LWR), condition factor (K), and length–length relationships (LLRs). The LWR equation was calculated as W = 0.011·TL³.²¹⁴ (R² = 0.973), with the exponent b significantly differing from 3 (p 0.96) further enable robust conversion between length metrics. Taken together, these results supply a valuable baseline for tracking the ecology of C. gibelio in Turkish inland waters and support informed management of this invasive cyprinid.Keywords : İsrail sazanı, biyometrik analiz, morfometri, büyüme tipi, tatlısu ekosistemi.
