Preliminary Study on the Morphometric Characteristics of Glyptothorax fukrensis in Lower Reaches of Fujiang River

[Objective] The study aimed to discuss the morphometric characteristics of Glyptothorax fukrensis in lower reaches of Fujiang River and its species validity.[Method]The body length,weight and fullness of specimens of Glyptothorax fukiensis collected from the lower reaches of Fujiang River were tested.[Results] For males,the mean full length was(9.98±1.456)cm,the mean length was(8.18±1.224) cm,the mean weight was(11.52±5.124) g;for females,the mean full length was(8.70±1.061) cm,the mean length was(7.09±0.881) cm,the mean weight was(7.20±3.635) g.For males,the mean ratio of body length to body height was 4.93±0.71,body length to head length was 3.95±0.31,body length to tail length was 5.49±0.53,body length to tail height was 10.82±1.20;for females,the mean ratio of body length to body height was 5.13±0.69,body length to head length was 3.94±0.81,body length to tail length was 5.54±0.52,body length to tail height was 11.20±1.37.The relationship between body weight and body length was described as follows: m=0.021 112.940 4,N=1 422,R2=0.781 7.The fullness differs obviously among seasons,but do not differ obviously between male and female.[Conclusion] The growth of Glyptothorax fukiensis would achieve without peak.Glyptothorax fukiensis and Glyptothorax sinese were the same species with different names.
