Abstract:
【Objective】 To explore the morphological characteristics, age, growth and other ecological characteristics of spotted
Diptychus maculates in Turks River.
【Methods】 From 2019 to 2021, through the sampling and observation of the Turks river spotted
Diptychus maculates., classical biological measurement methods were used to identify the age and analyze its growth characteristics.
【Results】 The body of Turks Rriver spotted double-lipped fish was elongated, with fine scales, and the lateral line was complete.The morphological characteristics were different from other water systems.The color of the back was gray-brown, with different black spots, and the abdomen was light yellow and grayish-white.The average body length was (143.66±57.94) mm, the average weight was (64.81±92.10) g, and the average age (4.08±2.49
*); The fitting relationship between body length and weight was
W =5.80×10
-6L3.165,3(
R2=0.952,1), which belonged to allometric growth; Body length was highly correlated with body height, head length, snout length, eye distance, caudal stalk length, and caudal stalk height, but had a lower correlation with body width and.The progressive body length (
n=120) was
L∞=346.79 mm,
k=0.09,
W∞=634.97 g,
t 0 = - 0.34,
ti=12.46.Growth equation of length and weight:
Lt = 346.79 (1-e
-0.09 (t + 0.34)),
Wt = 634.97 (1-e
-0.09 (t + 0.34))
3.165,3.
【Conclusion】 The morphology of Turks river spotted
Diptychus maculates is different from other water systems.It is a plateau cold-water fish with allometric growth, poor adaptability, old inflection point, slow growth, and unstable growth characteristics.
