Short communication: Growth properties of Tench (Tinca tinca L., 1758) living in Hirfanlı Reservoir (Kırşehir, Turkey)

Tinca tinca is originally from the Near East and West-Siberia and nowadays is spread all over the world (Lukowicz & Proske, 1979). Previous reports showed that they abundantly present in the rivers flowing to the Black Sea and various lakes as well as in rivers in Central Anatolia (Kuru, 1999). It has no economical importance due to its slow growth rate and tasteless meat. There are many publications on the growth (e.g, Cerny, 1968; Lukowicz & Proske, 1979; Alaş, 1998; Altındağ et al., 1998; Altındağ et al., 2002; Balık et al., 2004; Ergönül & Altındağ, 2005; Erol et al., 2006; Balık et al., 2009), the biology (e.g., Göktaş, 1987; Q’Maoileidigh & Bracken, 1989; Vetlugina, 1992; Neophiotu, 1993; Yılmaz, 1997) and the bio-ecology and feeding (e.g., Bircan, 1988; Balık et al., 1997; Şanlı, 1998) of T. tinca.
