pectoral fin

This latter movement is effected solely by the aid of the pectoral fins; the tail being collapsed, and not used.

rohita were significantly different; the fork length, dorsal, caudal and pelvic fin lengths were highly significantly different; while in case of total length and pectoral fin length there was non significant difference among the sites (Table I).

3A), but depressed fin pale yellow with oblique rows of dark pigment; adipose fin pale with at least one dark marking dorsally; pectoral fin pale with approximately 6 wavy, irregular bars of dark brown pigment; pelvic fins bright yellow; anal fin yellow; center of caudal fin (at anterior end of fork) and posterior portion of ventral caudal lobe dark gray to brown; dorsal caudal lobe pale with light, dusky pigment on posterior margin; dorsal caudal lobe with 2-3 small brown bars on procurrent rays.

PEC FIN: When you're fishing herrings or pilchards on one spot without much water movement, hook the bait through the soft pocket behind the pectoral fin. Hold the bait upside down and insert the hook a little behind and slightly above the base of the pec fin.

Pectoral fin in females reaching to middle of pelvic fin; pectoral fin rays 14 to 16 (mode 15).

Pectoral fin length is taken from the tip of the longest ray to the base of this ray.

The body measurements in millimeters of the two specimens are as follows: total length (TL) (862 and 995); distance from tip of snout to: origin of anal fin (425 and 428), anus (418 and 422), origin of dorsal fin (152 and 155), axilla of pectoral fin (114 and 115), and gill opening (102 and 101); maximum head width (42.4 and 43.7), maximum head depth (44.7 and 42.0), width of mouth (32.7 and 35.7), maxillar length (53.6 and 52.8), mandible length (52.1 and 52.4), snout length (15.4 and 13.9), maximum interorbital width (13.2 and 14.4), minimum interorbital width (11.2 and 10.7), horizontal ocular diameter (8.8 and 9.3), distance from tip of snout to anterior (10.7 and 9.8) and posterior nostril (12.8 and 10.9), and internostril space (2.7 and 2.3).

Stage 39: Craniofacial and pectoral fin cartilage defects

The genus is diagnosed in having an interrupted post-labial fold, broad isthmus, gill openings not extending ventrally onto undersurface of head, 14-16 branched pectoral-fin rays, lower lip not connected to the base of the maxillary barbel by a skin flap, sulcus between the lip and the barbel, homodont dentition, teeth pointed, coni-form in both jaws, premaxillary tooth patches contacting each other but not confluent, not extended posterolaterally, laterally blunt; dilator operculi muscle and levator opercula muscle contacting each other, broad anterior end of sternohyoideus muscle, its width almost equal to the width in the axilla of the pectoral fin, adductor pelvicalis superficialis muscle not contacting its antimere at the midline (Zhou et al.

1C and 2A) and the third is located near the pectoral fin base, supporting the lateral cartilages.

Along with a dark ocellus and the blue on the pectoral fin, this individual had faint banding on the sides a pattern often seen in this species (Humann and DeLoach 2004, Robertson and Allen 2015, Froese and Pauly 2017).
