Características morfométricas y merísticas del bonito argentino

Abstract

Collete and Chao (1975) reviewed the systematic and morphology of the Genus Sarda and relatives ((Tribe Sardini), including into their analysis a few S.sarda from the SW Atlantic. Before that, Demir (1964)dealt with the meristic data of the same species from the Black Sea. This paper in concerned with the featuring of the bonito caught in Argentina, from both a morphometric and a meristic point of view. The study made the differences reported by Collette and Chao (op.cit.)among W and E S.sarda populations to be more conspicuous, because our samples had even lower values han those from the NW.
