Length-weight relationships and relative condition factor of fish inhabiting the marine area of the Eastern Mediterranean city, Tripoli-Lebanon
Open accessAbstract
Length-weight relationships (LWRs) and relative condition factor are of great importance in fishery assessment studies since it provide information about the growth of the fish, its general wellbeing, and fitness in a marine habitat. LWRs for 9 fish species collected from the marine area of Tripoli-El Mina, North Lebanon, were established, and their growth condition was evaluated. The results indicated that almost all captured species exhibited a negative allometric growth and tended to be thinner. A significant difference was observed between b values during the warm and cold periods for Liza ramada, Oblada melanura and Epinephelus costae. In terms of seasonal variation, Liza ramada exhibited a positive allometric growth only in winter, while Oblada melanura had a positive allometric growth during the summer. The relative condition factor (Kn) fluctuated between 0.99 and 1.00, indicating a state of well-being for these fish species. The current study provided the first baseline data about LWRs and relative condition factor of fish species from the Eastern Mediterranean city of Tripoli. Such data is valuable for establishing a monitoring and management system of these fish species.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
