Abstract

The experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of various dietary conditions on external morphometric traits, and sectioned morphometric traits in the cultured cyprinid loach, (Misgurnus anguillicaudatus) for 28 days. For the fed group there was an increase in body weight, standard length, and morphometric dimensions of the head and body cavity regions compared with the starved and initial groups. Sectioned morphometric trait analysis revealed that relative to the starved group, the fed group had greater body circumference, cross-sectional area, and total height (P<0.05). Our results provide data on external and sectioned morphometric changes under starvation conditions, and can be used as a guide to assist in the regulation and scheduling of feeding, and as indices of the nutritional status of cyprinid loach.

Fig. 1. Truss and classical dimensions measured in this starvation experiment with the cyprinid loach, Misgurnus anguillicaudatus. Morphological landmarks are numbered and morphometric distances between the landmarks are shown. 1: most anterior extension of the head; 2: posterior end of supraoccipital; 3: origin of the dorsal fin; 4: insertion of the dorsal fin; 5: dorsal origin of the caudal fin; 6: most-posterior scale in the lateral line; 7: ventral origin of the caudal fin; 8: insertion of the anal fin; 9: origin of the anal fin; 10: origin of the pelvic fin; 11: origin of the pectoral fin; and 12: most-posterior aspect of the operculum. Ls: standard length. Black line: truss dimension; Black dotted line: classical dimension.
