Title: Assymetry in some morphological characters of four sparid fish from Ben Ghazi, Libya
Authors: Jawad Laith
Abstract: Asymmetry analyses were conducted on some bilateral characters of four members of the family Sparidae, Boops boops (Linnaeus 1758), Diplodus anularis (Linnaeus 1758), Diplodus vulgaris (E. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire 1817) and Lithognathus mormyrus (Linnaeus 1758) which were collected from coastal waters near Benghazi City, Libya. The results indicated that the highest asymmetry level is in the post-orbital length character. Eye lens diameter and eye lens weight exhibited the lowest asymmetry values.
