Abstract
- The accurate estimates of the maximum length of fish within a population are significant issues. Because the parameters related to maximum length, weight and age of fish communities in the ecosystem are constantly used in population dynamics and stock estimation studies, recording of such data is vital for determining the life history of fish. In this connection, a single specimen of Scomber japonicus was captured off Kabatepe Bight (Gallipoli Peninsula) with handline by a commercial fisherman on 21 September 2013. This specimen was 370.00 g in total weight and 34.6 cm in total length (32.0 cm in fork length), corresponding to the second maximum size recorded for Turkish waters. This study aims to contribute to the scientific literature.
