Effect of preservation procedures on the body shape of the golden mojarra, Diapterus aureolus (Actinopterygii: Perciformes: Gerreidae), and its repercussions in a taxonomic study

Francisco Javier Vergara-Solana, Francisco Javier García Rodríguez y José De La Cruz-Agüero

In taxonomic studies of fish, the use of preserved samples has been a common practice. Under the framework of morphometrics, the effect of the preservation techniques on body shape is rarely taken into account. Changes during preservation can cause errors in the results, which may eventually lead to wrong conclusions. To explore the effect of a traditional preservation procedure, we quantified the changes in body shape and size of the golden mojarra, Diapterus aureolus (Jordan et Gilbert, 1882), using geometric morphometrics.
