Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2017, Vol 12, Issue 4
Abstract
For morphometric analysis of Cirrhinus reba (Ham.), 80 fish specimens were collected during the period from June 2012 to May 2014 from Sukhna Lake, Chandigarh. Out of all 24 morphometric characters studied, three characters showed high positive correlation (above 0.90); eleven characters showed good correlation (0.75-0.90), five characters showed moderate correlation (0.50-0.75) and five characters showed poor correlation (0.25-0.50). On basis of percent range difference, fifteen characters were found to be genetically controlled (Range difference ≤ 10%) and nine morphometric characters belonged to intermediate category with range difference ranging between 10.00-14.99. No morphometric character was found to be environmentally controlled.
