Rapid and reliable multivariate discrimination for two cryptic Eteline snappers using otolith morphometry

Rapid and reliable multivariate discrimination for two cryptic Eteline snappers using otolith morphometry

Previously unaccounted cryptic speciation requires revaluating species identification, particularly for fisheries assessment purposes. We describe a rapid and reliable method for distinguishing between phenotypically similar species that utilizes simple otolith morphometry (length, width, thickness...
