The fish samples were collected by nets in February - March 2014 from the İkizce stream in Sırnak. A total of 76 specimens (15 female and 61 male) provided otolith samples for analysis. Relationship between total length and otolith length were determined as y=0,0565x +1,1008 (r=0,6602), relationship between total length and otolith width were determined as y=0,0651x +0,4226 (r=0,6504) and relationship between otolith length and otolith width were determined as y=0,7614x +0,0602 (r=0,8268). There was not significant differences between right and left otolith biometry (ANOVA p>0.05). Keywords : Shiraz barb, Capoeta umbla, otolith, Ýkizce Stream, Sırnak
