Abstract
|
|
|
|
Comparison of morphological characters and development of eggs and larvae of two bitterlings, Acheilognathus limbata and A. signifer from Korea were observed and discussed taxonomically. A. signifer differs from A. limbata by the color pattern of dorsal and anal fin ray of male, egg form and the length of ovipositor of female. Although two species are overlapping each other in some morphometric characters, there is a great difference between the two in the multivariate analysis of 15 morphological characters of five comparative populations. These results indicate that A. limbata and A. signifer are two independent allopatric sibling species in Korea.
