The maximum age of individuals was determined as VII, fork length was 33.8 cm and weight was 428.0 g. Females were found larger than males in size. Condition factor values were determined as 1.210±0.009 for males, 1.266±0.017 for females and 1.293±0.030 for juveniles. In overall, condition factor of females was higher than males.
