Genetic and morphological variation of Solea lascaris (Risso, 1810) along the Portuguese coast

Characterization of morphological and meristic traits and their variations between two different populations (wild and cultured) of <i>Cichlasoma festae</i>, a species native to tropical Ecuadorian rivers

“…Fish are very sensitive to environmental changes and quickly adapt by changing necessary morphometric character (Cabral et al, 2003;Hossain et al, 2010). Morphometric variation between stocks may be applicable for studying short-term environmentally induced variation (Pinheiro et al, 2005). In addition, while both morphometric and meristic characters respond to changes in environmental factors, their responses are different in some situations and can differ from species to species.…”

Morphometric Differentiation of Two Nigerian Fish Species (Oreochromis niloticus and Lates niloticus) Using Principal Components and Discriminant Analysis

“…Morphometric variation between stocks can provide a basis for stock structure, and may be applicable for studying short-term, environmentally induced variation geared towards successful fisheries management (Murta, 2002;Pinheiro et al, 2005). Morphometric measurements are widely used to identify differences between fish populations (Tzeng, 2004;Cheng et al, 2005;Buj et al, 2008;Torres et al, 2010).…”

Morphometric and Meristic Characters of Two Cichlids, <i>Coptodon zillii</i> and <i>Oreochromis aureus</i> Collected from Shatt al-Arab River, Basrah, Iraq

“…Variations in morphometrics and meristic characters of fish populations are also valuable in phylogenetics and in providing information for subsequent studies on the genetic improvement of stocks. Still to say, that such morphological variation can be a basis for the study of population structure, and a measure for gauging environmentally induced variation in order to reach a successful fisheries management (Murta et al, 2000;Pinheiro et al, 2005).…”
