Meristic counts and morphometric measurements of Schilbe mystus (Linnaeus, 1758)
Journal Title: Journal of FisheriesSciences.com - Year 2024, Vol 18, Issue 03
Abstract
Five meristic counts and 21 morphometric measurements were studied and compared between males and females Schilbe mystus. Statistical analysis showed no significant differences in the number of meristic counts. Students t-test showed that the mean of the 21 morphometric measured traits was significantly (p<0.001) higher in females than males. The regression analysis of the various morphometric measurements of S. mystus against the standard length yielded significantly correlated equations (p<0.05 to p<0.001) with females showing higher degree of correlation (r value) than males, except for the preorbital length and prepelvic length.
