Abstract
In this study, the growth biology of topmouth gudgeon, Pseudorasbora parva (Temminck & Schlegel,
1846), sampled from Lake Mogan, Ankara, Turkey were studied between July 2013 and June 2014. Length-weight
relationship, von Bertalanffy growth equation, Fulton’s condition factor and rational growth increase were evaluated
from obtained data. Length-weight relationship was estimated as W=0.0138xTB2.8414(r2 = 0.948). von Bertalanffy
Growth Model was calculated as Lt= 106.8495[1-e-0.212451(t+2.59075)]. Fulton’s condition factor was found at
the lowest level in fall and winter season, increasing the beginning of spring season due to the annual reproductive
cycle.
