Analysis of morphological differences between natural and cultured populations of Oplegnathus fasciatus by WANG Jiahao, HU Guisen, WU Zhang, ZHU Kai, XU Kaida, WANG Haoxue, DAI Qian

“…The results of stepwise discriminant analysis showed that the correct rate of discrimination were 97.8% and 94.7%, respectively, after cross-validation based on the traditional morphometry and truss network, and the correct rate of discrimination was 99.6% after cross-validation based on the comprehensive analysis combined with the two methods. The above results showed that it is feasible to discriminate the natural and cultured populations via morphological methods, and the results of the comprehensive discrimination can be more accurate when various morphologically measurable traits were combined.…”
