Description |
Seventeen morphometric and seven meristic body characteristics were examined in 406 specimens of damselfish (234 females and 172 males) caught in the middle Adriatic (near the Korčula and Kopište Islands). The differences between the mean values of the measured morphometric characteristics in the males and females were not statistically significant. Modes were identical in males and females for most analyzed morphometric relationships. There were no differences in meristic characters between sexes. Thus, the male and female damselfish population in the middle Adriatic is homogeneous.
