A Note On The Examination Of Morphometric Differentiation Among Fish Populations: The Truss System, Cemal Turan Jan 1999

A Note On The Examination Of Morphometric Differentiation Among Fish Populations: The Truss System, Cemal Turan

Turkish Journal of Zoology

Identifying intraspecific units or stocks of a species with unique morphological characters enables a better management of these subunits of species and ensurs perpetuations of the resources. Multivariate morphometry has been commonly used to investigate the discreteness and interrelationships of stocks within a species. Different types of body measurements have been traditionally used to charecterise stocks. However these measurements have recently been criticised because there are several biases and weaknesses inherent in traditional characters. As an alternative, a new system of morphometric measurements called The Truss Network System has been increasingly used for stock identification. In this review a computer-originated …

Species And Subspecies Of The Genus Aphanius Nardo 1897 (Pisces: Cyprinodontidae) In Turkey, Rudolf H. Wi̇ldekamp, Fahretti̇n Küçük, Mustafa Ünlüsayin, Wi̇m Van Neer

Turkish Journal of Zoology

The Turkish species of the Cyprinodontiform genus Aphanius Nardo 1827 are described. The naming used follows Wildekamp (1993) (1) as the latest available revision. Information is given on morphology, sexual dimorphism, colouration and distribution, as well as remarks on taxonomy, nomenclature, distribution, variability and conservation. Comments are given on the Lazara (1995) (2) revalidation of Lebias as a distinct genus. It is shown that Valenciennes (1846) (3) is the first revisor of Lebias, and not Lazara, and that Aphanius should be maintained as a genus. The taxon Aphanius chantrei (Galliard 1895) is regarded as a junior synonym of Aphanius danfordii …
