Size and shape analysis of two close Cyprinidae species (Garra variabilis-Garra rufa) by geometric morphometric methods

In this study, the shape and size differences between 30 samples of Garra rufa and Garra variabilis species captured in Tigris River were investigated by using geometric morphometric methods. According to the results of this study, there is no difference between these two species in terms of size (CS); however, they are quite different from each other in terms of shape and this difference is si...

Mortality of therapeutic fish Garra rufa caused by Aeromonas sobria.

OBJECTIVE To investigate a case of mass mortality of Garra rufa (G. rufa) from a fish hatchery farm in Slovakia. METHODS Causative bacterial agent was swabbing out of affected fish skin area and subsequently identified using commercial test system. Antibiotic susceptibility was determined by the disk diffusion method. RESULTS Infected G. rufa was characterized by abnormal swimming behaviour...

Study of diversity and morphometric differentiation of of Garra rufa (Heckel, 1843) populations in Fars province

This investigation was conducted to study of diversity and distinction of Garra rufa in some aquatic ecosystems located in Fars province. So, 208 samples were collected from five aquatic ecosystems located in Fars province (Rudbal river, Babasheikh Khalil subterranean, Qaderabad subterranean, Doudabad subterranean, Khargheh river) and 24 morphological traits were measured. Before data analysis,...

Morphological differences among the Garra variabilis populations (Cyprinidae) in Tigris River system of South East Turkey

In this study, by examining the character of the morphometric and meristic characters of Garra variabilis samples which is obtained from different locality in Tigris River, morphometric characters which are transformed, subjected to discriminant analysis and depending on grouping model, number of discriminant functions and according to importance of these in terms of explaining total variance, ...

Garra robertsi, a new cyprinid (Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae) fish species from Borneo.

Garra robertsi is described from specimens collected from the Sungai Bongan and Tempassuk rivers in Sabah, Borneo. The species is differentiated from G. borneensis, its only congener on the island of Borneo, in having five (versus four) transverse scale rows above lateral line, the first branched dorsal-fin ray extending beyond the posterior-most extent of any other part of the dorsal fin when ...
