Abstract: |
Morphologic comparison between two different populations of Epinephelus septemfasciatus from Japan and South Korea was conducted with 14 morphological indices using statistics methods. The results of t-test indicate that 12 of 14 morphological indices were significantly different (P < 0.01) between the two populations. Principal component analysis revealed three principal components, contributing 29.87%, 25.09%, and 16.88%, respectively, and reaching cumulatively 71.80%. Therefore, the morphological variations between the two populations are significant, and come mainly from the first principal component. The results of discriminant analysis revealed also a significant difference between the two populations (P < 0.0001). Two discriminant functions were obtained; the identification accuracy and the total discriminant accuracy were all 100%, which shows that it is feasible to adopt stepwise discriminatory analysis to distinguish the two populations. In this study, all the results have revealed some morphological differences between the two populations. However, almost all the morphological indices were not different enough to feature a subspecies. In addition, the result of discriminant analysis agrees with that of principal component analysis and t-test, leading to the same conclusion. |
