The breeding and sexual maturation properties of a cyprinid fish Capoeta tinca were studied in Gelingüllü Reservoir, a recently impounded dam in Central Anatolia. Ripening of gonads commenced in early spring, whereas spawning occurred between May and June. Sexual maturity age was 2+ for males and 3+ for females. The results obtained from this study were compared with those of other populations of C. tinca in Turkey.
