Shell length (SL) (mm), shell width (SW) (mm), shell height (SH) (mm) and weight (W) (g) were measured in individual. A multivariate statistical evaluation was performed to determine morphological relationships. Mean of SL, SW, SH and W of <em>U. pictorum</em> were determined as 64.92±9.46 mm, 32.32±4.66 mm, 23.88±3.96 mm and 31.40±13.92, respectively. Principal components analysis (PCA) indicated a strong relationship between SL, SW and W.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Sustainable Aquatic Research}, author={Kutluyer Kocabaş, Filiz and Kocabaş, Mehmet and Akça, Ayşe}, year={2022}, month={Dec.}, pages={165–170} }
