Summary, etc. |
<p class="Abstract" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB">As morphometric information for Hooghly croaker <em>Panna heterolepis </em>Trewavas, 1977 is absent in the most extensively accessed and world’s largest online database for fishes (FishBase); this study was undertaken to provide the complete informative description on morphometric relationships and meristic counts of various fin rays. A total of 200 individuals were sampled from the Bay of Bengal (Bangladesh) during July 2018 to June 2019, using several traditional fishing gears. Meristic counts were computed using a magnifying glass. Body weight (BW) and several length measurements were taken through an electronic balance and digital slide calipers for each individual. LWRs (Length-weight relationships) were calculated as: <em>W = a×L<sup>b</sup></em>. All LWRs and LLRs (length-length relationships) were found significant with <em>r<sup>2 </sup></em>≥ 0.919 (<em>p </em>< 0.0001) and 0.928 (<em>p < </em>0.001), respectively. BW <em>vs. </em>TL and TL <em>vs. </em>SL were the best fitted models for LWRs and LLRs, respectively. Fin formula was: dorsal, D. 43–55 (VIII–X+i/34–44); pectoral, P. 15-17 (i/14–16); pelvic, Pv. 6 (I/5); anal, A. 7–10 (II/5–8); and caudal, C. 17–19 (ii/15–17). These results will a) make a vital contribution for species identification in the marine and coastal waters of Bangladesh and adjoining countries, and b) provide information for Fish Base.</span></p> |
