RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FISH LENGTH AND OTOLITH DIMENSIONS IN THE CARANGID FISH (Carangoides coeruleopinnatus (Rüppell, 1830)) COLLECTED FROM THE SEA OF OMAN
Laith A. JAWAD
The regressions between otolith size (length and width) and fish length of the carangid fish, Carangoides coeruleopinnatus living along the coasts of the Sea of Oman were provided. ANCOVA test showed no differences in length and width of the right and left otolith of fish specimens obtained. Similarly, no significant difference was observed between regressions of fish length on width and length of otolith length, so a single linear regression was plotted against total length (TL) for otolith length (OL) and otolith width (OW).
