Morphological Variability of Four Anabas testudineus (Bloch 1792) Varieties, Cultured in Pond Aquaculture Systems in Bangladesh

ABSTRACT Due to having high market demand and consumer preference, four varieties of Anabas testudineus (indigenous, Thai, Thai‐Vietnam, and Vietnamese) have been extensively cultured in Bangladesh over the last few decades. But high similarities in their morphometric traits make population differen...

Description
Summary:ABSTRACT Due to having high market demand and consumer preference, four varieties of Anabas testudineus (indigenous, Thai, Thai‐Vietnam, and Vietnamese) have been extensively cultured in Bangladesh over the last few decades. But high similarities in their morphometric traits make population differentiation difficult. The present study used phenotypic markers for their discrimination based on traditional morphometry and truss network measurement. We conducted a study of morphometric variability through the traditional morphometry and truss network systems based on 120 specimens of four varieties of A. testudineus cultured in a coastal region of Bangladesh.
