Taxonomy of Finfish

2.3.13 Comparison of Sexes

The morphometric characters are to be taken separately for males and females. To find out any difference for a character, least square method has to be employed by taking standard length as ‘X’ and different morphometric characters as ‘Y’. Analyses of co-variance (F-test) should be employed to find out any significance. If there is any significance, the sexes should be treated separately.
