ResumoThis study aims to determine the factors affecting von Bertalanffy growth factors and to demonstrate the relationships between these factors. Accordingly, 65 sets of growth data belonging to 43 studies on the subject of the growth of four Mullidae species prevalent in the Mediterranean (Mullus barbatus, Mullus surmuletus, Upeneus pori and Upeneus moluccensis) and the Black Sea (M. barbatus, M. surmuletus). It was discovered that the growth parameters, theoretically affected by similar factors, are not affected by every factor at the same time. It was also discovered that the sample structure given in the studies also affects the biological validity of the parameter estimations.
