The Investigation of Meat Yield of Acanthobrama marmid Heckel, 1843 From Karakaya Dam Lake

This study was carried out to determine the meat yield of tigris bream ( Acanthobrama marmid) caught in Karakaya dam lake. In this study, 51 A. marmid were used and these fishes were found to be 22.45 ± 15.02 cm in length and 145.69 ± 28.87 g in weight . Analysis of meat yield was based on the calculation of the ratio between the body weight and the weight of organs, body parts e.g. head, fins, and internal organs. In present study age composition, sexual ratio, age-length, age-weight, length- weight relationship and meat yield of A. marmid were determined. The weight rate of viscera, head, fins, skin, carcass of A.marmid according to total weight were calculated as 14.79%, 14.49% , 2.38%, 11.59% ve 57.92% respectively.
