Morphometric and Meristic Diversity in Eel (Anguilla bicolor) in South Coast of Java

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-Dorsal Length). The purpose this study was analyze morphological, morphometric, meristic diversity intraspecies between populations. Based on research, samples identified were morphologically almost same populations, seen from color patterns form plain black or brown short fins. 3D distribution plot still appear be clustered one population, while dendrogram clade, species congregated each. results interpretation matrix lowest length number anodorsal vertebrate segments. This observation can concluded TV varied, PDL, PAL, PDV, PAV, ADV showed character A. bicolor. because bicolor eels inhabit Java Island widely distributed random (panmitic).
