Morphometric and Meristic Characterization of Native Chame Fish (Dormitator latifrons) in Ecuador Using Multivariate Analysis

Abstract: Ecuador, a country exhibiting large developments in fish farming, has a great variety of freshwater native fish. Among these fish is the Dormitator latifrons or chame, which has characteristics that make its farming prone to occur at a quite-developed stage. However, morphological characterization is required to establish a conservation program. In this study, 300 chames were captured in the Manabi province (Ecuador) to analyze their morphostructural model and to evaluate the effects of sex and the production … Show more

“…In many cases, the morphological changes are the result of an interaction between environmental factors and genetic plasticity [ 54 , 55 , 56 ], although it is not always easy to explain the causes of the morphological differences between populations [ 57 ]. In previous papers, factors such as production system (wild and cultured) and capture area (river vs. basin), among others, were studied to explain morphological variations in each native species [ 31 , 33 , 35 ].…”
