Abstract: This study was made on the scales of 198 Capoeta capoeta samples caught by electric fishing and fyke net in River Asi between February 2002 and January 2003 to define their growth characters were. Sex ratio was obtained in favour of males. Length-weight relationship was found W = 0.005L3.24 (R2 = 0.95). The von-Bertalanffy growth parameters were L∞ = 27.39 cm, K = 0.44-year and t0 = -0.92-year.
