Özet
The veined rapa whelk, Rapana venosa, is the first invasive non-indigenous species to attain significant commercial importance in the industrial fisheries of the Black Sea. In this study, statoliths of R. venosa were used for age determination. Samples were collected monthly from the eastern Black Sea using a standard commercial dredge at three major fishing areas: Sinop, Samsun, and Trabzon. Four growth models (logistic, Gompertz, asymptotic exponential, and von Bertalanffy) were fitted to describe the relationship between age and shell length, with the von Bertalanffy growth function providing the best fit. A one-way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) revealed no significant sexual dimorphism in growth curves at any station; however, significant temporal and spatial variations were detected, with the highest estimated growth rates in autumn and the most pronounced spatial differences in winter and spring …
