Summary Seasonal variations in Fulton’s condition factor ( K ) and the length–weight relationship (LWR) were investigated for Capoeta sieboldii in the upper Çoruh River (Turkey) from March 2000 to February 2001. There was a slight seasonal variation in condition, with generally lower values in summer and winter, and higher values in autumn. LWR was calculated as W = 0.016 × L 2.933 , W = 0.014 × L 3.001 , and W = 0.009 × L 3.118 for males, females, and juveniles, respectively.
