Morpho-meristic characteristics of moustached Danio, Danio dangila (Hamilton, 1822) from North-East hilly region of India
Author(s): Tania Banerjee, BK Mahapatra and BC Patra
Abstract: Morphological analysis (morphometric and meristic) was done with the objective to study and analyze the Morphometric, Meristic measurements and identification of
Danio dangila (Hamilton,1822)from different areas of North-East India mainly from Assam, Meghalaya, Alipurduar during the period of July 2015 to September 2016. Eighteen Morphometric measurement and ten meristic counts were studied for twenty five numbers of
Danio dangila. The coefficients of correlation (r) for various characters were found between 0.162-0.988. Some significant high correlation (like 0.988, 0.977 and 0.952) and low correlation like (0.162, 0.463) is found in some parameters. This study can be helpful for future research and preparing of conservation strategy.
