P>This study investigates length-weight and length-length relationships of four shad species (Alosa caspia caspia, Alosa immaculata, Alosa maeotica, Alosa tanaica) captured in the western Black Sea coast of Turkey. A total of 686 specimens, 355 females and 331 males, were caught by gill net, trammel net and longline from 2006 through 2007 along the western Black Sea coast of Turkey. The relationships of total length (TL), fork length (FL) and standard length (SL) are presented for inhabiting in the Black Sea four shad species and the relationships between total length (TL) and body weight (BW) from the two localities, Sile and Karasu in the western Black Sea coast of Turkey. The Length-weight relationships generally indicated positive allometric growth in Alosa species for both males and females and an isometric growth for A. immaculata females. The coefficient b ranged from a minimum 2.97 for females of A. immaculata to a maximum 3.75 for both sexes A. c. caspia. Results indicated that the length-length relationship between the three length measurements were highly correlated (r2 > 0.99, P < 0.001).
