Abstract

Morphometric and meristic study of Amblypharyngodon mola (Ham- Buch) from different habitats of Assam

Author(s): Rimzhim Gogoi and Umesh. C. Goswami

The morphometric and meristic characters of Amblypharyngodon mola collected from culture pond and wetland of Jorhat district of Assam, was studied during the period from September 2011 to August 2013. The morphometric characters of different body parts of male and female were recorded. The correlation and regression analysis was carried out for some important characters in relation to total length and head length. The coefficients of correlation (r) for various characters ranged from 0.216 – 0.947 in males and 0.396 – 0.9524 in females. There was significant (p<0.05) difference between morphometric characters of mature male and female A.mola while there was no change in meristic counts with increase in body length
