The Study of Morfometric and Meristic of Yellow Tail Fish Landed in Nusantara Fishery Harbour of Sungailiat, Bangka Regency

Abstract

Caesionidae is one of the first commodity from a kind of varieties fishes in Nusantara Fishery Harbour (PPN) at Sungailiat, Bangka Regency. Caesionidae is consumption fish and become important food source for human. People call this fish as Yellow tail fish because it has yellow tail and the upper body of this fish is dominate by yellow colour. In scientific name, this fish named as caesiocuning. On local name, yellow tail fish named “delah”.This research aims to analyze the charachter of morphometric and meristic of yellow tail fish in PPN Sungailiat, Bangka Regency on December 2018 to januari 2019. The data was taken using random sampling method. This research takes 23 morfometric and 9 meristicparameters.The character of morphometric showed that the yellow fish tail has Total Length body 12-18,3cm. The characters of meristic of Yellow tail fusilier in PPN Sungailiat Bangka Regency showed has the formula of Dorsal Rays, Anal Rays, Pectoral Rays, Ventral Rays, and Caudal Rays in order are D.IX 15- D.X 15, A.III 9- A.III 11, P.18, V.19-V.20, and C.18-C.22. The final result of classification showsthat the name fish in PPN Sungailiat (Bangka Regency),is Lutjanus vitta (Lutjanidae).

Morphological Character Analysis of Mackerel (Scomberomorus commerson Lac., 1800) in Sunda Strait

“…The overall body of the fish in general is covered by scales (squama). The squama is also called the dermal skeleton and can also be associated with the outer frame (Gustomi et al, 2019). The squama found in Mackerels can be used as a marker of the meristic characters.…”

“…The relationship between morphometric parameters and weights in fisheries biology is one of the complementary information that needs to be known in the management of fisheries resources (Sonyenzellnd, Mustahal, & Haryati, 2015). Morphological character analysis of sea fish has been widely carried out in Indonesia, namely the analysis on the Yellow Tail fish (Gustomi, Arizona, & Akhrianti, 2019), Nomei fish (Nugroho & Rahayu, 2011), Keureling fish (Akmal, Saifuddin, & Zulfahmi, 2018), Rainbowfish (Afini, Elfidasari, Kadarini, & Musthofa, 2016), and Forest Snakehead (Azrita, Syandri, Dahelmi, Syaifullah, & Nugroho, 2013). Therefore, more information is needed regarding the analysis of morphological characteristics of Mackerel found in the Sunda Strait, especially the one caught by fishermen of PPP Labuan.…”

Perbandingan Pola Rasio Morfometrik dan Karakteristik Habitat Dua Spesies Ikan Cupang Alam (Betta spp.) Endemik Pulau Bangka

“…Morfometrik adalah suatu teknik yang digunakan untuk menggambarkan bentuk tubuh dengan menggunakan metode penelitian taksonomi, yaitu mengukur komponen anatomi ikan (dengan mengukur panjang atau jarak ciri fisik atau landmark), seperti ukuran dan perbandingan bagian tubuh dan sirip serta panjang tubuh (Asiah et al, 2018). Selain itu juga, pengukuran morfometrik merupakan berbagai standar pengukuran yang digunakan pada ikan, antara lain standar panjang, panjang hidung atau bibir, dan panjang sirip punggung atau tinggi ekor (Gustomi et al, 2019).…”
