abstract

the body shape of fishes is influenced by environmental parameters and the habitat condition. the present study investigated morphological characteristics phenotypic plasticity of barbus lacerata in the zarrineh river and the role of environmentalfactors influencing the phenotypic plasticity. three hundred specimens were caught using electric fishing, anaesthetized with clove powder, fixed in 10% formalin and transferred to the laboratory. the left side of the specimens was photographed using a digital camera with a resolution of 6 megapixels. twelve landmarks were put of the pictures using the software tpsdig2. the procrustes superimposition was used to transform landmark data and subjected to canonical variate analysis (cva) using past software. thin-plate spline was used to detect morphometric changes inferred form translation of the landmarks. based on the movement of landmarks, a significant difference was found between the morph of the specimens from the up- and downstream of river. the morphological differences recognized in body height and caudal peduncle height. two-block pls and correlation matrix showed that the velocity of water flow and river discharge are the main factors causing morphological changes. this research recommends the further study on other environmental factors affecting the morphology

Golden barb (Barbus luteus) is one of the species in south and southwest of Iran which is greatly favorable to residents of the region. Unfavorable ecological conditions in habitat of this species and overfishing have led to reduction of the population of golden barb. Therefore, to restore the natural stock of this species, identifying its reproductive cycle associated with its habitat is of a ...

The phenotypic plasticity of the aquatic invertebrate Caenis latipennis in response to environmental conditions in the Kheirood Kenar River, Iran

Phenotypic plasticity is the capability of an organism to change its shape in response to the environmental condition. The present study aimed to investigate the phenotypic plasticity of the aquatic invertebrate Caenis latipennis using outline analysis. Samples were collected from up- and downstream of the Kheirood Kenar River, identified to the species level and photographed using a digital ca...
