In this study, three approaches (body morphometric, meristic character (vertebrae number) and otolith shape) were applied on the population of round sardinella along the Algerian Coast in the Mediterranean Sea in order to obtain useful information for the management of this resource. 627 specimens were collected from nine locations from December 2018 to January 2019. The linear discriminant analysis (LDA) applied on both body morphometric characters and the otolith shape which indicated significant difference between areas with a low rate of classification success (47% for body morphometric analysis and 37.5% for otolith shape analysis), the misclassification percentage for each sampling location was explained by the proximity of the sites. Grouping samples into three regions according the Algerian coastline division reduced the misclassification rate; the overall random assignment of individuals into their original sample obtained by LDA was 70% for the morphometric characters, and 55% for the otolith shape. However, no significant difference was found between areas using the analysis of the number of vertebrae. No significant sexual effects were observed on the body morphometric characters, on the otolith shape and on the number of vertebrae.}, keywords = {MERISTIC CHARACTERS; STOCK IDENTIFICATION; Algerian coast; Otolith shape; Round sardinella; Body morphometry}, year = {2021}, eissn = {1562-2916}, pages = {1757-1774} } @article{MTMT:3317826, title = {Fish scale identification: From individual to species-specific shape variability}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/3317826}, author = {Brager, Zsuzsanna and Staszny, Ádám and Mertzen, M and Moritz, T and Horváth, Győző}, doi = {10.3750/AIEP/02245}, journal-iso = {ACTA ICHTHYOL PISCAT}, journal = {ACTA ICHTHYOLOGICA ET PISCATORIA}, volume = {47}, unique-id = {3317826}, issn = {0137-1592}, year = {2017}, eissn = {1734-1515}, pages = {331-338}, orcid-numbers = {Horváth, Győző/0000-0002-4818-1096} } @article{MTMT:27102971, title = {A potential pitfall in studies of biological shape: Does size matter?}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/27102971}, author = {Outomuro, David and Johansson, Frank}, doi = {10.1111/1365-2656.12732}, journal-iso = {J ANIM ECOL}, journal = {JOURNAL OF ANIMAL ECOLOGY}, volume = {86}, unique-id = {27102971}, issn = {0021-8790}, abstract = {1. The number of published studies using geometric morphometrics (GM) for analysing biological shape has increased steadily since the beginning of the 1990s, covering multiple research areas such as ecology, evolution, development, taxonomy and palaeontology. Unfortunately, we have observed that many published studies using GM do not evaluate the potential allometric effects of size on shape, which normally require consideration or assessment. This might lead to misinterpretations and flawed conclusions in certain cases, especially when size effects explain a large part of the shape variation.}, keywords = {literature review; Allometry; geometric morphometrics; Generalized Procrustes Analysis; superimposition of landmark configurations}, year = {2017}, eissn = {1365-2656}, pages = {1447-1457}, orcid-numbers = {Outomuro, David/0000-0002-1296-7273} } @article{MTMT:2988731, title = {A scale atlas for common Mediterranean teleost fishes}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2988731}, author = {Brager, Zsuzsanna and Moritz, T}, journal-iso = {VERTEBR ZOOL}, journal = {VERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY}, volume = {66}, unique-id = {2988731}, issn = {1864-5755}, year = {2016}, eissn = {2625-8498}, pages = {275-386} }
