Abstract
This study was performed to assess exploitation, growth characteristics, reproduction and mortality rates of the Atlantic lizardfish (Synodus saurus Linnaeus, 1758) from the Babadilli- mani Bight in Silifke, Mersin, Turkey. For this purpose, 161 individuals S. saurus were ob- tained by monthly samplings between May 1999 and April 2000, and found that minimum and maximum lengths and weights were 10.7-31 cm and 9.99-267.56g, respectively. Considering growth characteristics, Length-Weight relationship was W =0.0073 * L 3.0241 , and von Berta- lanffy growth constants in length and weight were L∞ =38.04 cm, K =0.153 year -1 , to =-1.862
