Seasonal changes of length -weight relationship and condition factor of four-spotted megrim Lepidorhombus boscii in Central Eastern Adriatic Sea

Length-weight relationships (LWRs) and relative condition factor are very important in fishery assessment studies. LWRs for males, females and total samples of Lepidorhombus boscii in each season are determined were established, and their relative condition factor was evaluated. The results indicated that almost all specimens exhibited a positive allometric growth (b > 3) in all seasonal variation. The relative condition factor (Kn) fluctuated between 0.381 and 1.107 0.681 ± 0.072). This study provided the first data about LWRs and relative condition factor of fish species from the Adriatic Sea. Such data is valuable for establishing a monitoring and management system of these species.
