This study aimed to determine the age and some growth characteristics of Atlantic stargazer (Uranoscopus scaber) from Iskenderun Bay (Northeastern Mediterranean). For this purpose, a total of 150 Atlantic stargazer ranging in size from 9.1 to 28.0 cm in total length (weight: 11.7–345.7 g) were collected as by‐catch from a commercial trawl fishing boat at a depth of 80–100 m between May 2015 and January 2016. The bottom trawl gear used was equipped with a 44 mm stretched mesh size net at the cod‐end. The percentage of females and males were 46.7% and 53.3% respectively. The total length–weight relationships equation with coefficient of determination (R²) were found as W = 0.011*TL^3.131, R² = .9728, for all individuals, W = 0.015*TL^3.021, R² = .9512 for females and W = 0.0102*TL^3.136, R² = .9553 for males. By using the von Bertalanffy equation, the growth parameters of Atlantic stargazer were estimated to be L_∞ = 42.35 cm, k = 0.098, t₀ = −1.8474 for all individuals; L_∞ = 36.92 cm, k = 0.138, t₀ = −1.2693 for females and L_∞ = 38.77 cm, k = 0.1, t₀ = −2.334 for males. In this study, age reading was done by two independent readers and index of average percentage error (IAPE) was calculated as 6.1%. The highest condition factor value calculated as 1.81 in the age group 6 and the lowest condition factor value was calculated as 1.48 in the age group 1.

栖息在伊斯肯德伦湾（东北地中海）的Uranoscopus scaber Linnaeus 1758的生长特征

这项研究旨在确定伊斯肯德伦湾（东北地中海）大西洋观星者（Uranoscopus scaber）的年龄和某些生长特征。为此目的，从一艘商业拖网渔船上副渔获物收集了150副大西洋观星鱼，总长在9.1至28.0厘米（重量：11.7–345.7克）之间，深度介于80至100 m之间。 2015年5月和2016年1月。所使用的拖网渔具在鳕鱼尾端配备了44毫米的拉伸网目尺寸网。女性和男性的比例分别为46.7％和53.3％。发现具有确定系数（R ²）的总长度与重量关系方程为W  = 0.011 * TL ^3.131，R ² = 0.9728，对于所有个体，w ^  = 0.015 * TL ^3.021，- [R ²  = 0.9512，女性和w ^  = 0.0102 * TL ^3.136，- [R ²  = 0.9553为男性。通过使用贝塔朗菲方程，大西洋斯塔盖泽的生长参数估计为大号_∞  =42.35厘米，ķ  = 0.098，吨₀  = -1.8474所有个人; 大号_∞  =36.92厘米，ķ  = 0.138，吨₀  = -1.2693为女性和大号_∞  =38.77厘米，ķ  = 0.1，吨₀ = -2.334（男性）。在这项研究中，年龄读数由两个独立的读者完成，平均百分比误差指数（IAPE）计算为6.1％。在6岁年龄组中，最高条件因子值为1.81，在1岁年龄组中，最低条件因子值为1.48。
