LENGTH-WEIGHT RELATIONSHIP OF BROWN TROUT (SALMO TRUTTA) FROM DIFFERENT RIVER SYSTEMS IN SERBIA

Abstract

The study investigates the length-weight relationships of seven brown trout populations in Serbia. The b values range from 2.710 to 3.373, indicating isometric growth in one population, negative allometry in three populations, and positive allometry in another three populations. A comparison with the previous studies shows that growth patterns are generally consistent across the analyzed Serbian populations. However, local environmental conditions and population characteristics may lead to specific growth differences within these river systems.
