Indonesia is the largest exporter of eel to consumer countries such as European, America, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and Middle East. Eels are catadromous fish that in growth phase fresh waters development marine waters. Meristic measurement done by counting spine (vertebrates). Eel morphometric measurements include TL (Total Length), HL (Head PDL (Pre-Dorsal PAL (Pre-Anal Length) ADL (Ano-Dor...

The dactylopterid fishes are non-commercial fishes and occasionally caught as a by-catch during commercial trawling. Two specimens of Dactyloptena peterseni were collected during the survey of commercial trawl catch at Karachi fish harbor. This is the first report on the occurrence of Dactyloptena peterseni in the Pakistani waters. The present study gives the detail description of morphometric ...

The objective of this contribution is to present new records the occurrence Sphoeroides pachygaster, based on 8 specimens deposited in a scientific collection 175-313 mm standard length weighing 178.7-1 010 g, which were captured south Veracruz, southwestern Gulf Mexico. In addition, meristic and morphometric data are given discussed as support for identification.

One specimen of the shortfin neoscopelid Neoscopelus microchir Matsubara, 1943, has been recorded for first time on Porcupine Bank, southwestern Ireland, providing a new northern limit distribution eastern Atlantic. Morphometric and meristic parameters confirm taxonomic identification. However, DNA barcoding shows deficiencies in current taxonomy potential occurrence cryptic species. On this ba...

A total of 200 threadfin bream Nemipterus japonicus was collected from Chennai in the east coast and Kochi in the west coast during January to February 2013 and studied for their morphometric and meristic characters. In total, 21 characters were analyzed out of which 3 characters namely dorsal, ventral and anal fins were not considered since they were unaltered. The findings indicate that 91% o...

In a meristic, morphometric and distributional study of Neolissochilus from Peninsular Malaysia, Khaironizam et al. (2015) subsumed Lissochilus tweediei Herre in Herre & Myers 1937 and a taxon they called "Tor soro Bishop 1973" into the synonymy of N. soroides (Duncker 1904) based on data collected from museum specimens. However, "Bishop 1973" is not the correct author citation for Tor soro. In...

The pencil cardinal Epigonus denticulatus is a small deep-water fish inhabiting continental slopes usually between 300 and 600 m depth. We report the first record of E. in Azores archipelago, where one specimen was found floating by fisherman off Faial island. Meristic morphometric characters are accordance with those reported for species molecular analyses further supported identity. as native...
