Species Composition and Morphometric Characteristics of Nike Fish in Marisa Waters, Gulf of Tomini, Indonesia

Abstract

Nike fish are juveniles of amphidromous gobies species known for their intricate morphological features and highecological significance found in the Gulf of Tomini, Indonesia. This study aimed to investigate the species composition andmorphometric characteristics of Nike schools in the waters of Marisa District, Pohuwato Regency, Gorontalo Province. A total of5.223 individuals were collected from four catch efforts by fishers. Samples were observed and grouped based on melanophorepatterns for species identification, and morphometric measurements were performed using Image-J software application. Theresults show that there were 6 species of Nike in the schoolings, namely: Sicyopterus longifilis, Belobranchus segura, Stiphodonsemoni, Belobranchus belobranchus, Sicyopterus parvei, and Sicyopterus cynocephalus. Apparently S. longifilis 98,24% dominatingthe schools. These findings provide valuable insights into the population structure and biodiversity of Nike fish, which are essentialfor their conservation efforts, management, and future studies.
