Acantho brama marmid, Leuciscus vorax, Luciobarbus xanthopterus and C. macrostomum and Cyprinus carpio have small percentages of numbers, which are 11.97%, 7.69%, 5.13%, 4.27%, and 3.42%, respectively. Chondrostoma regium represented the largest percentage of weight, 36.76%, followed by Carasobarbus luteus, with 11.55%, then Carassius auratus, with 21.89%.The studied fish differed in the values ​​of the regression coefficient (b) for the logarithmic relationship between total length and total weight, which ranged between Luciobarbus Xanthopterus 0.55 and Acantho brama marmid 3.58.
