Abstract
The meat productivity of chub (Squalius cephalus) and the relationship between various organs of the body were determine after catching 153 fish samples from upper Akcay River, South Aegean Region between June 2012 and May 2013. In this study, the following results are obtained; percentage of head weight 16.00%, visceral weight 9.90%, fins weigh 6.30% and Meat productivity 67.10%. Depending on their age between I and VII, chub population meat efficiency percent was determined as 64.44; 66.86; 70.63; 71.73; 71.31; 71.01 and 67.60 respectively. These results show that meat production increased as the age increases. It was later proposed to catch fish that have reach maturity age and are larger than 16,20cm length. Results showed that meat productivity of fish was increased after age V. in this river.
