Abstract
A fish population from a given geographical area can be characterized in morphological terms by means of somatic measurements. Seeing that Romanian literature does not provide information about common minnow (Phoxinus phoxinus) population from Banat Hidrografic Area, Timis Hidrografic Basin, we launched a number of researches on external morphology to reveal the conformation body characters. Investigated body segments were: total body length (Tl), standard body length (Sl), head length (lc), snout length (snl), caudal peduncle length (lpc), maximum body depth (H), minimum body depth (h) and body weight (w). Making an analysis of average for total body length for common minnow (Phoxinus phoxinus) females and males, we observed that the females body average length was 7.1 ± 0.66 cm and the average length of males was 4.47 ± 0.15 cm. Average body weight obtained for females was 4.31 ± 0.41 g, and for males was 0.98 ± 0.08 g. The standard length of common minnow (Phoxinus phoxinus) females is 84.78 % of the total body length, and head length (1.41 ± 0.17 cm) is 19.85 % of the total body length. For common minnow (Phoxinus phoxinus) males the standard body lenght is 83.44 % of the total body length and head length (0.93 ± 0.03 cm) is 20.80 % of the total body length.
