LEPIDOLOGY OF SELECTED SPECIES OF HAEMULON (PISCES: POMADASYIDAE): A MORPHOLOGICAL - STATISTICAL APPROACH TO TAXONOMY

Date Issued:
1974
Summary:
A study was made of selected species of the genus Haemulon to evaluate the use of lepidology as a taxonomic tool for classifying fishes. The data generated underscored certain phylogenetic trends although species differences were ill-defined. A statistical technique was employed using a ctenius length-width ratio analysis. The statistical inference that Haemulon chrysargyreum and H. striatum may occupy a single infrageneric group supports previously established evidence in this regard.
