conclusions in the determination via 3d cranial tomography the presence of the parietal bones is important because, in case of agenesis the tension band does not benefit and on the contrary it creates extra stress on cerebral tissue. case report we presented a case with metopic and sagitta suture cranioschisis mimicking bilateral parietal bone agenesis (university of izmir of medicine, turkey, ...

Abstract Recent phylogenetic studies amended the taxonomy of three-toed jerboas (subfamily Dipodinae), including raising subspecies to full species. Here, we use geometric morphometrics compare scaled-shape differences in dipodine crania while considering their revised taxonomy. We sampled Dipus deasyi, D. sagitta halli, s. sowerbyi, Jaculus blanfordi blanfordi, J. hirtipes, jaculus, loftusi, o...

Otoliths are calcium carbonate (CaCO3) accumulations. Under the influence of different ecosystems morphological and chemical composition change. In this study, economically important two demersal fish species; European hake Merluccius merluccius (Linnaeus, 1758) Stripet red mullet (Mullus surmuletus Linnaeus, was examined. (Sagitta) belonging to these species have been studied both chemically m...

Otoliths are considered as very useful structures of fishes for various studies. This investigation aimed to compare the morphometric parameters between the right and left otoliths of male and female specimens of four species of the fishes belonging to the family Carangidae from the northern Persian Gulf. The morphometric parameters such as weight, length, width, area and perimeter of sagittal ...

We estimated the growth of Jack mackerel (Trachurus murphyi) using increments daily growth, otolith weight and annual ring reading in sagittal otoliths. The micro-increments were used to fit density radius (n = 4481) then estimate age individual days. parameters von Bertalannfy equation were: maximum theoretical fork length, FL∞ 75 cm; coefficient, K 0.16 year-1; at which fish length is zero, t...

in this paper age determination and morphological characteristics of blacktip catfish, plicofollis dussumieri, from oman sea were evaluated. a total of 132 fish specimens were collected from fishing trawlers or landings from march 2011 to july 2012, with minimum and maximum of 245 mm, 195 g; and 767 mm, 5801 g, respectively. maximum life span was 12 years for the length range of 245 – 767 mm fl...
