Leiognathidae
Part II: Relationships among the genera and the species
 
Creator James, P S B R
 
Subject Fish biology
 
Description While the three genera, Leiognathus, Secutor and Gazza, in the family
Leiognathidae share some osteological characters in common, they differ from
one another strikingly in certain characters (Table 2). The differences between
the genera appear to be more pronounced in the otic region of the skull than
elsewhere.
The differences between Leiognathus and Secutor, between Leiognathus
and Gazza and between Secutor and Gazza are shown in Tables 3 to 5 respectively.
The study indicates that osteologically the genus Leiognathus is more
distantly related to Secutor than Leiognathus to Gazza or Secutor to Gazza.
