Morphological screening of carp Cyprinus carpio: relationship between morphology and fillet yield

摘要: Abstract We propose a simple method to quantify the morphology of 2–3-year-old carps ( Cyprinus carpio ) which is related their fillet yield. This based on automated image analysis lateral projection fish (mask). Seven morphological measurements specifically yield were defined. The comparison between this and conventional quantification offish shape, skeletal landmarks, increases significance fitting. From morphometric data, we profitable carp morphotype defined by four angles two distances shape head position caudal peduncle, respectively. main characteristic absence large dorsal development, ventral peduncle.
