A meristic, morphometric and biochemical investigation of Atlantic menhaden, Brevoortia tyrannus (Latrobe)
Juvenile Atlantic menhaden, Brevoortia tyrannus , were collected from estuarine waters of the Atlantic coast of the United States. Those collected north of latitude 40°N had lower numbers of total and trunk vertebrae, ventral scutes and interhaemal spines, and shallower heads, smaller eyes, shorter...
