“…First dorsal dark or greyish; second dorsal fin completely dark; Caudal and anal fins with slight yellow tinge. Most of the morphometric and meristic characteristics (Table 1) of the specimens of greater amberjack, S. dumerili collected during the study were comparable with the previous investigations (Smith-Vanitz, 1984;Abdussamad et al 2008;Sley et al 2016;Luzhmak et al 2020). The total length range of the specimens of S. dumerili obtained in the present study were narrower and comparable with the earlier reports from Black Sea (Luzhmak et al 2020) and Bay of Bengal (Abdussamad et al 2008), while the length range of the specimens of S. dumerili reported from the Mediterranean Sea (Sley et al 2016) were broader.…”

Similarly, the depth at first and second dorsal fins, maximum body depth, pre dorsal length of first and second dorsal fins were comparable with the ranges obtained by previous studies from Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea and Bay of Bengal (Table 1).…”

“…Specimens were photographed in fresh condition and identified based on the key given by Smith-Vaniz, (1984). The morphometric and meristic measurements were taken following standard procedure (Hubs and Lagler, 2004) and compared with the published information available about this species from different parts of the world (Abdussamad et al 2008;Sley et al 2016;Luzhmiak et al 2020). The morphometric measurements were taken for each specimen with an accuracy of 0.01mm and total body weight was recorded to the nearest 0.1 g using digital calliper and electronic weighing balance respectively.…”

Background: The fishes of the family Carangidae forms one of the largest families of bony fishes, representing about 140 species, widely distributed in all tropical and temperate marine waters of the world. In recent past, fishes of this family are exhibiting new geographical distribution which could be attributed to climatic variability. Methods: The specimens were collected from multiday trawl boats operated along Karnataka coast. Morphometric and meristic characteristics together with genetic analysis using DNA bar coding was used to validate the identity of the specimen. Spatial distribution map of the species in Indian Ocean was generated using the information from the present study and available literature. Result: The morphometric and meristic characteristics of the specimens of greater amberjack, Seriola dumerili collected during the study were comparable with the previous investigations. The phylogenetic tree constructed using sequences of COI (MW974826 and MW974827) of the Seriola species showed distinct clustering among species with significant bootstrap values confirming the identity to the extent of 99% with the sequences of Seriola dumerili deposited in NCBI GenBank. This study confirms the first distributional record of Seriola dumerili from the eastern Arabian Sea.

“…Morphometric indices of fishes were found to be of taxonomic importance in sex, race and species identification by many authors (e.g. Khan et al, 2002;Basmidi, 2004;Myers et al, 2004;Turan, 2004;Cadrin, 2005;Cheng et al, 2005;Ali and McNoon, 2010;Lawson, 2010;Simon et al, 2010;Elamin et al, 2011;Mekkawy and Mohammad, 2011;Mazlan et al, 2012;Deepti et al, 2013;Sajina et al, 2013;Jawad, 2015;Masood et al, 2015;Zubia et al, 2015 ;Sley et al, 2016;Mahmoud et al, 2016Mahmoud et al, & 2017.…”

In the present study, 120 fish samples (64 male and 56 female) of fivelined snapper, Lutjanus quinquelineatus of variable sizes were used for demonstration the morphometric and meristic characteristics of this species in the Egyptian Red Sea, Hurghada fishing area. The total length varied from 15.3 to 28.7 cm in males and from 16.0 to 31.7 cm in females while their weights ranged between 44 and 378 g in males and between 48 and 512 g in females. Statistical interpretation of morphometric data indicated that there is direct relationship between total body length with different morphometric indices. The meristic characters like dorsal fin rays, pectoral fin rays, caudal fin rays, lateral line scales and total number of gill rakers were counted. The results revealed that there is no sexual dimorphism in L. quinquelineatus from Hurghada fishing area. 1-Total length (TL) 2-Standard length (SL) 3-Body depth (BD) 4-Caudal peduncle depth (CPD) 5-Head length (HL) 6-Predorsal fin length (PRDFL) 7-Head depth (HD) 8-Preventral fin length (PRVFL) 9-Distance between ventral and dorsal fins origin (VDOL) 10-Distance between anal and dorsal fin ends (ADFEL) 11-Dorsal fin base length (DFBL) 12-Distance between the ventral fin origin and the end of anal fin (VOAEFL) 13-Distance between the first spine of the dorsal fin and the end of anal fin (SPDAEFL) 14-Distance between dorsal fin end and ventral fin origin (DEVOFL) 15-Distance between the ventral fin and the end fin origin (VEADFL) 16-Distance between dorsal fin end and dorsal caudal fin origin (DEDCF) 17-Distance between anal fin end and ventral caudal fin origin (AEVCFL) 18-Eye diameter (ED) Meristics: Certain meristic counts of 64 males and 56 females of L. quinquelineatus were considered.

In the present study, 120 fish specimens (64 male and 56 female) of the five-lined snapper, Lutjanus quinquelineatus of variable sizes were used for demonstration the morphometric and meristic characteristics of this species in the Egyptian Red Sea, Hurghada fishing area. The total length varied from 15.3 to 28.7 cm in males and from 16.0 to 31.7 cm in females while their weights ranged between 44 and 378 g in males and between 48 and 512 g in females. This fish species showed constant meristic characters. Statistical interpretation of morphometric data indicated that there is direct relationship between total body length with head length (HL), snout length (SnL), eye diameter (ED) and length of caudal peduncle (CPL). The meristic characters like dorsal fin rays, anal fin rays, lateral line scales, gill rakers on lower arm and scales in transversal line were counted. The results revealed that there is no sexual dimorphism in L. quinquelineatus from Hurghada fishing area. MATERIALS AND METHODS Morphometrics: In the present investigation, 64 males (15.3-28.7 cm in TL) and 56 females (16.0-31.7 cm TL) of L. quinquelineatus, were randomly collected from the southern Red Sea, Hurghada, fishing port, Egypt during the period from January to December 2016. Sex was determined by macroscopic examination of the gonads, and this subset was used to test the hypothesis of no sexual dimorphism in morphometric and meristic characters of L. quinquelineatus. For each fish, 18 morphometric measurements were made on the left side up to the nearest millimeter using a divider and a measuring board. The following is a list of these measurements, which are diagrammatically represented in Figure 1; its corresponding number indicated in such a list labels each measurement on this figure. Those morphometric measurements included: 1-Total length (TL) 2-Standard length (SL) 3-Body depth (BD) 4-Caudal peduncle depth (CPD) 5-Head length (HL) 6-Predorsal fin length (PRDFL) 7-Head depth (HD) 8-Preventral fin length (PRDFL) 9-Distance between ventral and dorsal fins origin (VDOL) 10-Distance between anal and dorsal fin ends (ADFEL) 11-Dorsal fin base length (DFBL) 12-Distance between the ventral fin origin and the end of anal fin (VOAEFL) 13-Distance between the first spine of the dorsal fin and the end of anal fin (SPDAEFL) 14-Distance between dorsal fin end and ventral fin origin (DEVOFL) 15-Distance between the ventral fin and the end fin origin (VEADFL) 16-Distance between dorsal fin end and dorsal caudal fin origin (DEDCF) 17-Distance between anal fin end and ventral caudal fin origin (AEVCFL) 18-Eye diameter (ED) Meristics: Certain meristic counts of 64 males and 56 females of L. quinquelineatus were considered. The following meristic counts were recorded: 1-Number of the dorsal fin spines (DFS) 2-Number of the dorsal fin soft rays (DFSR) 3-Number of the pectoral fin rays (PFSR) 4-Number of the ventral fin rays (VFR) 5-Number of the ventral fin spines (VFS) 6-Number of the anal fin rays (AFR) 7-Number of the anal spines (AFS) 8-Number of th...
