| Summary: | The aim of the study was to determine if there is sexual dimorphism in a 2 years oldpikeperch population from the Danube. A total of 46 pikeperch (Sander lucioperca)individuals, males and females, caught in the Danube, were examined. Body weight,total length, standard length and girth as morphological traits and the Fulton indexwere calculated to compare males with females. The age of fish was determinedbased on the scales samples. Verge coefficient was taken into account whenclassifying individuals examined to age groups.Although there were some differences between males and females, the differenceswere not significant. |
