Tab. 3 in Comparative analysis of diet composition and its relation to morphological characteristics in juvenile fish of three lutjanid species in a Mexican Pacific coastal lagoon

Tab. 3. Means, standard errors (SE) and ANOVAs results for the morphometric variables of Lutjanus argentiventris (Lutarg), L. colorado (Lutcol) and L. novemfasciatus (Lutnov) expressed as ratios on standard length. SL: standard length, BH: maximum body height, ED: eye diameter, HHBE: Head height behind eye, PH: peduncle height, MH: mouth height, MW: mouth width, GA: Gape area, DT: length of dentary’s teeth, LCP: length of large canines in premaxilla, SCT: length of small conical teeth in premaxila. Different letters besides the means indicate significant differences after the SNK test.
