AB  - In this study age and growth features of tench (<I>Tinca tinca</I> L., 1758) living in Kapulukaya Dam Lake (Ankara, Turkey) were studied between April 2000 and March 2001. Totally, 150 tench were examined. Fish aged I-VII years were present and the population was 55.31% female and 44.69% male. The fork length and weight of females varied from 18.6-36.1 cm and from 85-1060 g, respectively and in males from 16.6-34.4 cm and from 140-1120 g, respectively. Age-length and age-weight relations were calculated according to von Bertalanffy growth equation formula. The following values were obtained for females and males, respectively. L<SUB>t</SUB> = 45.11 [1-e<SUP>(-0.15607 (t+1.97938)</SUP>], W<SUB>t</SUB> = 1974.62 [1-e<SUP>(-0.1617 (t+1.8213)</SUP>] 3.1752, L<SUB>t</SUB> = 44.61 [1-e<SUP>(-0.1617 (t+1.8213)</SUP>], W<SUB>t</SUB> = 1730.58 [1-e<SUP>(-0.15607 (t+0.97938)</SUP>] 2.9571. The length-weight correlation was found to be W = 0.0228 L<SUP>2.9571</SUP> for males and W = 0.0111 L<SUP>3.1752</SUP> for females.
