Evidence of multiple stocks of catfish, Rita rita (Hamilton), from the Ganges Basin on the basis of an integrated analysis of truss morphometrics, otolith microchemistry, and otolith shape
Abstract:Context Management of Rita rita (Hamilton) in India is hampered by a lack of understanding of possible stock structure. Aim To investigate possible spatial stock structure of Rita rita in the Ganges Basin. Methods Independent analyses of landmark-based truss morphometry, otolith elemental analysis and otolith shape were conducted to investigate the stock structure of the catfish (Rita rita) from the Ganga River and its tributaries Yamuna and Ramganga. Key results Each of the stock-delineati… Show more
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.
