Özet
The relationships between size (length and width) of the lagenar (asteriscus) and the utricular (lapillus) otoliths and bodylength for fve cyprinid fsh species, freshwater bream Abramis brama , white bream Blicca bjoerkna , Prussian carp Carassius gibelio ,brond-snout Chondrostoma regium , and rudd Scardinius erythrophthalmus, collected from Lake Ladik from November 2009 throughOctober 2010, are presented. Te right and lef side measurements of otoliths were pooled in all cases except asteriscus length inPrussian carp. Nonlinear and linear functions provided the best ft for 80% and 20% of all species, respectively. All relationships werehighly signifcant (P < 0.001, R2 > 0.71) and the mean percent prediction errors were less than 10%. Te results showed that reliableoriginal size estimates of all species studied are obtainable from their otolith biometrics. Te regressions from this study can be usefulfor investigators examining food habits of piscivorous fauna and sizes of these fshes in archaeological samples.
