Implication

This analysis reveals significant correlations between otolith and fish size in four Puntius species, suggesting otoliths can aid in fish stock identification.

Key Points

  • Otolith morphometry correlated positively with fish size, indicating its utility in fish stock monitoring and identification.
  • Puntius ticto had the largest otolith relative to its total fish length, while Puntius sophore had the smallest, highlighting species-specific variations.
  • Linear regression models were applied to show strong relationships between various morphometric measurements of the fish and their otoliths.
  • The study emphasizes otoliths as significant indicators in ichthyology and fishery management practices.
