Description 480-486
This study has been carried
out to identify the various stocks of the species, Japanese threadfin bream, Nemipterus japonicus (Bloch, 1791),
based on their morphometric characters. Fish samples were collected from four
locations, two each from west and east coast of India.  Twenty one morphometric distances were
measured from each individual and the canonical discriminant analysis showed that
the body depth distances along with horizontal measurements associated with the
head are useful for differentiating these fish stocks along the Indian coast. A
discriminant function analysis classified more than 80% of the samples
correctly to their respective locations. Results indicated that more than one
stock is present in the west as well as east coasts of India. Hence
the various spawning stock populations have to be identified and assessed
separately in future while formulating management strategies for sustaining the
catch from this resource.
