dc.description.abstractThe Japanese threadfin bream, Nemipterus japonicus (Bloch, 1791) is a commercially important demersal fish species along the Indian coast especially in the maritime states of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh. In the present study, 389 samples were collected from four locations i.e., Cochin, Mumbai, Kakinada and Chennai and 15 meristic characters were recorded and analysed. Wald’s chi-square statistics was used to analyse the meristic characters. Most of the meristic characters showed no significant difference between locations which depicted the similarity of stock collected from different locations. However, the counts of gill rakers were found significant and important for differentiating the populations from these locationsen_US
