Relationships between fish weight and length, otolith length and fish length, and otolith weight and length were analysed in two cichlid fish species, Coptodonguineensis(Günther, 1862) and SarotherodonmelanotheronRüppell, 1852 (Perciformes, Cichlidae), collected in two lakes in southern Benin (western Africa). The analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to detect differences in the relationships between the specimens of the two species collected in the two lakes.To the authors' best knowledge, this study represents the first reference available on morphometric relationships for C. guineensis and S. melanotheron in the investigated area.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
