Description
TABLE 1. The morphometric, meristic and otolith variables considered in the comparison of Atractoscion aequidens and A. macrolepis in the current study. Means and ranges (in parenthesis) of both raw measurements and proportions (prop.), with body variables expressed as a proportion of standard length (SL), head variables (*) as a proportion of head length (HL) and otolith variables as a proportion of fork length (FL), are presented for the morphometric and otolith variables. Modes and ranges are presented for the meristic counts and counts of otolith processes. Samples sizes (n) are indicated for each variable.
