| Large-scale tongue sole (Cynoglossus arel) belongs to the family of Cynoglossidae and is a benthic fish. It distributes around the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea. It has been identified 5 species of Cynoglossidae in coastal waters of Persian Gulf in the Bushehr Province. For this study, 240 samples of large-scale tongue soles were caught with a bottom trawl and transferred in the freezer containing ice powder to the laboratory from January 2008 to December 2009. Then, the total length (TL) and weight (W) of fish were measured accurately. SPSS, One-Way ANOVA and regression coefficient were used to analyze data and drawing the graphs. Mean total length (TL) 28.98±2.01 cm and mean weight (W) 109.80± 15.92 g were determined. Based on the results of this study, the relationship between total length and weight of this species was calculated as W= 0.257 TL1.757. This equation in female and male was obtained W= 0.308 TL1.760 and W= 0.494 TL1.589, respectively. |
