TABLE 1 in Early development of Brachyplatystoma juruense (Boulenger, 1898) (Siluriformes: Pimelodidae)

TABLE 1. Variables analyzed (mm), minimum values (Min), maximum values (Max), mean (Mean), standard deviation (SD), number of individuals analyzed (N), and morphometric relationships (%) found for the morphometric and meristic variables obtained in larvae and juveniles of Brachyplatystoma juruense. Head depth (HD), body depth (BD), head length (HL), snout length (SNL), standard length (SL), eye diameter (ED), snout length to the origin of the anal (SNA), dorsal (SND), pectoral (SNP), and pelvic (SNV) fins, finfold depth in the dorsoposterior region (adipose fin—AFD), snout length to the end of the anus (SNAN), finfold length in the dorsoposterior region (adipose fin—AFL), interorbital distance (ID), head width (HW), absent fin (AF), and not visible (NV).
