Journal: Acta Aquatica Turcica
Year: 2021

In this study, we aimed to describe otoliths to provide information about the stomach contents of three small foraging species and to contribute to the currently limited biological and ecological evidence about the species. Seasonal experimental bottom trawl surveys were conducted along the shelf areas of the Kızılırmak-Yeşilırmak and Melet Rivers to collect investigation materials which were abundant in the bycatch composition of the target catch. The information about body size measurements, a
