The total of 102 specimens were analyzed between April and November 2009. Sex composition of population was 59.80 % female and 40.20 % male. The von Bertalanffy growth equations were found as Lt= 45.96[1-e–0.2121(t+1.2636)] for females and Lt= 44.33[1-e–0.2420(t+1.0128)] for males. Length-weight relationships were estimated as W=0.0087 L 3.1419 for females, W=0.0091 L 3.1121 for males and W=0.0084 L 3.1484 for all individuals. Condition factors of the population were calculated between 0.9325 and 1.8484 Keywords : Chub, Squalius cephalus, growth properties, Keban Dam Lake, Turkey
