Abstract
A total of 1230 specimens of bluefish Pomatomus saltatrix (Linnaeus. 1766) were collected by purse seine fishing from January to December 2014 in South Marmara Sea of Turkey. Fish size in total length ranged from 12.3 cm (minimum) in January to 43.7 cm (maximum) in May. Mean of total length 20.57±0.17 cm and mean of weight 94.74±0.41 g was calculated as. The length-weight relationships were determined for males, females, unsexed and combined sexes as W=0.102L2.9763, W=0.0105L2.9638, W=0.0152L2.8348, W=0.0107L2.9574 respectively. All fishes have been found to be isometric (b=3) growth (t test. p 0.05). The results indicated further that the length-length relationships were highly correlated (r² 0.990, p 0.001).
