- Abstract
In this study, eight bony structures such as scale, vertebra, utricular (lapillus) and lagenar (asteriscus) otoliths, dorsal and anal fin rays, opercle and subopercle of total 394 individuals belonging Cyprinus carpio L., 1758 populations inhabiting Altinkaya and Derbent dam lakes, and Bafra Fish Lakes were evaluated for age determination. After preliminary examination, it was determined that lapillus and subopercle were not available for age estimation. Therefore, these bony structures were excluded from age analysis. Other bony structures were interpreted three times by one reader. Mean age, percent agreement (%), average percent error (%) and coefficient of variation (%) were used to compare the reliability of bony structures. Consequently, vertebra was determined as the most reliable bony structure for age estimation in three populations of Cyprinus carpio L., 1758.
