Abstract
Otolith is important for studying fish populations and life histories. In this study, the dominant species of Schizothorax grahami in the source section of the Chishui River was taken to understand the relationships between otolith morphology and total length (TL). Results showed a large difference between the four TL groups (A/B/C/D), except group B is similar to group C. The combined discrimination success rate of linear discriminant analysis was 62.2%. Group A and D's success rate is the highest, at around 75%. Meanwhile, the success rate for Group B and Group C is below 65%. The one-way ANOVA of the Shape Index and the Canonical analysis of Principal Coordinates with two coefficients (Fourier coefficients and Wavelet coefficients) showed that Group B is similar to Group C, with a large difference from the other two groups. When TL was greater than 100 mm (the pearl organs appearing), the otolith growth was lower changing. Otolith morphology still changes with growth after sexual maturity in fish, so the larger fish is more useful for conducting otolith morphology studies for accurate evaluation and management of local fishery resources.
