Beschreibung:
The usefulness of multivariate morphometrics to distinguish between fed and starved fish larvae was tested on laboratory reared herring larvae (Clupea harengus ). Linear Discriminant Analysis was used to obtain a linear function which separates the two groups of larvae maximally. The calculations were based on twelve morphometric characters, taken individually by means of an image analysing system. A statistically significant separation of fed and starved larvae was obtained. The most important characters and the number of characters necessary for separation are outlined.
