Özet
There is a knowledge gap in some lakes of Turkey regarding the reproductive biology of the common carp (Cyprinus carpio Linnaeus, 1758), a very important freshwater commercial species. This study aims to determine for the first time the spawning period and length at first maturity (Lm50) of common carp in Marmara Lake in Western Turkey. A total of 650 individuals were sampled between December 2015 and November 2016. The overall sex ratio (?:?) was 0.88:1 which is no significantly different from the balanced ratio of 1:1 (p>0.05). The spawning period peaked in February and continued until May. Lm50 was estimated as 43.7 cm and 39.6 cm for females and males, respectively. This study also presented some reproductive characteristics of common carp in the lake from the westernmost point for Anatolia.
