Abstract

Twenty samples of Barbus luteus, were collected with total lengths ranging between 12.2-30 cm and weights between 0.5-4.8 g and 20 Aspius voted (Heckel) with a length range between 59.1-20.8 cm and weights between 1600-62 g respectively, From the Tigris River near the Citadel area, west of Samarra, during the period from September to December 2019. The regression value of the relationship between total length and total weight (b) for both sexes was 0.34 and 2.79 in Barbus luteus and Aspius voted (Heckel) respectively, Variations in the ratio of measurements taken of head parts to head length and their logarithmic relationship values ​​between the two species Barbus luteus and Aspius voted (Heckel), and the highest ratio was 0.88 and 1.05 for the length of the gill arch to the length of the head respectively, and the lowest ratio of Barbus luteus and Aspius voted (Heckel) was 0.04 for mouth width to head length, 0.04 for Aspius voted (Heckel) for head width to head length, and for Barbus luteus for mouth and snout length to head length. The values ​​of the condition coefficient (K) differed for both sexes together, according to the total length and numbers of the two fish Barbus luteus and Aspius voted (Heckel),and the value of the case coefficient for both sexes together was 1.6 in Barbus luteus, with the highest value (K) 2.67 for the group length 12-15-12.2 cm, As for Aspius voted (Heckel) the reached (K) value was 0.84 for both sexes, with the highest value (K) 1.5 recorded for the 20-25 cm group length, and The lowest value was 1.24 for the 21-25 cm length group in Barbus luteus and in Aspius voted (Heckel) the lowest value was 0.64 for the 31-35 cm length group.

Keywords: Morphology, Barbus luteus, Aspius Voted (Heckel), Fish, Tigris River.
