Maturity composition of the analysed samples varied between age groups I and VII. The ratio of females to males was 1.047:1. Fork length of the samples varied between 40-198 mm and weights were in the range of 0.45-68 g. The regression equations derived for the length-weight relationship was Log W = -5.5531+3.2958 Log FL (r2=0.9593) for females and Log W=-5.3695+3.2112 Log FL (r2=0.9487) for males. Mean condition factor was determined as 1.069 for females and 1.062 for males. Absolute fecundity was established to be between 288 and 3380. The age of sexual maturity was 3 years in females and 2 years in males.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAlburnus MossulensisAtaturk Darn LakeEuphrates RiverGrowthMaturityMossul BleakArticle6543643WOS:0004546060000042-s2.0-8506515771510.21077/ijf.2018.65.4.75624-04Q4Q4
