Short communication: Growth properties of tench (Tinca tinca L., 1758) living in Hirfanlı Reservoir (Kırşehir, Turkey)
Tinca tinca is originally from the Near East and West-Siberia and nowadays is spread all over the world. Previous reports showed that they abundantly present in the rivers flowing to the Black Sea and various lakes as well as in rivers in Central Anatolia. It has no economical importance due to its slow growth rate and tasteless meat. There are many publications on the growth and the bio-ecology and feeding of T. tinca. This study was carried out to investigate the growth properties, such as weight, length and condition factor, in T. tinca inhabit in Hirfanlı Reservoir built in 1959 on Kızılırmak River with the altitude of 856m and volume of 7.63 x10^9m^3. The study was carried out from August 1996 to July 1997 on 241 T. tinca species.
