Population-ecological analysis of Aral roach (Rutilus rutilus aralensis) was conducted in Tuzkan lake of Aydar-Arnasay lake system in Uzbekistan. In the Aydar-Arnasay lake system, it was analyzed the age structure, body weight, 19 morphometric and 5 meristematic indicators of 158 fish specimens caught in Tuzkan Lake in January and February 2020. The main selected indicators as a result of statistical analysis are: arithmetic mean; error rate; indicators of variability of morphometric and morpho-physiological signs; and variable asymmetry of meristem indicators. Statistical evaluation was conducted to determine the reliability of the survey results. Some features of the morpho-physiological state of the studied population were identified, which were explained by natural-climatic features, as well as anthropogenic impact on the water basin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
