Abstract/Description: | The Grammoplites scaber (Linnaeus, 1758) and G. suppositus (Troschel, 1840) belong to family Platycephalidae (Flathead fishes). Taxonomic study on both the species wasconducted based on the samples collected from three different locations viz. Versova and Newferry Whorf (Mumbai, Maharashtra) and Veraval (Gujarat) during August to October 2015. A total of fifteen morphometric characters were measured and compared between the species along with their proportionsinstandard length and head length. Among ten meristic characters, six did not show any difference between the species. However, four characters viz. number of gillrakers, black spot on 1st dorsal fin, increasing size of backward directed lateral line spine and preopercular spine revealed variations. The proportional measurements with their head length (HL) viz. snout length: head length (SnL:HL), maximum eye diameter: head length (MED:HL), Inter orbital width: head length(IOL:HL) showed also revealed significant between the species at 5% level. The study was able to resolve the ambiguity and facilitated correct identification of the two species based on the characters studied. |
