Abstract
Bogue (Boops boops, Linnaeus, 1758) that was gathered in Antalya Bay had their ages, growth rates, and mortality examined. Using the von Bertalanffy equation, Lt = 37.50 (1 - e-0.15(t + 1.32)) (R2 = 0.988), growth in length was expressed for the entire sample without revealing any disparities between the sexes. The values of the allometric coefficient (b) of the length-weight relationships specify negative allometric growth (b < 3) in females, males, and overall sexes. Total and natural mortality were found to be Z= 1.12 y-1, and M= 0.36 y-1. The exploitation ratio E = 0.68 indicated that the population was overexploited.
