    Abstract: This study was aimed to investigate the some growth properties 
  of <I>Acanthobrama marmid</I> Heckel, 1843 population in Uzuncayir Dam Lake 
  (Tunceli/Turkey) between May 2011 to September 2012. A total of 604 <I>A. marmid</I> 
  samples (340 males and 264 females) were caught from Uzuncayir Dam Lake; the 
  age composition of the specimens ranged between 1-9 years. The overall sex ratio 
  (females/males) was 1:0.78. Total lengths of specimens ranged from 8.80-27.80 
  cm and weights ranged from 6.20-182.00 g. The von Bertalanffy growth parameters 
  were L&infin; = 28.25 cm, K = 0.26 year<SUP>-1</SUP> and t<SUB>0</SUB> = &#150;0.90 
  year for males and L&infin; = 28.49 cm, K = 0.23 year<SUP>-1</SUP> and t<SUB>0</SUB> 
  = &#150;1.24 year for females. The length-weight relationship was found as W 
  = 0.009xTL<SUP>3.009</SUP> in males and W = 0.012xTL<SUP>2.926</SUP> in females. 
  The growth performance index (&#934;') values of males, females and all samples 
  were 2.317, 2.271 and 2.301, respectively. The condition factor values varied 
  between 0.61-1.30 for entire population.
