The purpose of this study was to determine the morphometric and meristic characteristics, growth of Signal barb fish in the Tasik river. The method used in this research is a survey method. Morphometric characteristics of Signal barb fish Bodyweight (BW) ranges from 4-73 gr, Total Length (TL), Standard Length 6.3-15.5 mm (SL), Head Length (HL) 1.8-2.5, Snout Length (SL) 0.5, Dorsal Fin Height (DFH) 2.3, Dorsal Fin Length (DFL) 3-7, Eye Diameter (EM) 0.8, Tail Trunk Height (TTH) 0.8-1.8, Body Height (BH) 2-4.5, Pectoral Fin Length (PFL) 2 cm and Belly Fin Length (BFL) 2 cm. The meristic characteristics of Signal barb fish are the number of Linnea Literalis (LL) as many as 35-38 scale, 13 Circular Body Scales (CBS), 11-13 Front Fin Dorsal Scales (FFDS), the Scales Around the Tail (SAT) a total of 5, Dorsal Fin (DF) of DI. 23-26 fin radii, Ventral Fin (VF) of 9 fin radii, Pectoral Fin (PF) of 11-14, Anal Fin (AF) a total of 7 fin radii and a Caudal Fin (CF) a total of 20-22 fin radii. The growth pattern of signal barb fish in the Tasik River is negative allometric with the condition factor value an average value of 0.42
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.
