| Abstract | This study used landmark-based geometric morphometric to find out and depict the body shape of Sardinella lemuru collected from Sarangani Bay in Mindanao, Philippines. A total of 60 fishes (30 males and 30 females) from the sampling site were digitized and landmarked using 18 landmarks. The body shape variation was obtained and synopsized by the boxplots of the relative warp (RW) scores along with the extremely positive and the extremely negative warps. Important results were accentuated with discriminant function analysis (DFA) having the result of p=0.1651. Overfishing activities of large scale fishing industries pose a big threat to the breeding season of the small pelagic fishes and its body shape is a great factor for their survival and ability to migrate. Thus, this study shows that landmarkbased geometric morphometric methods is a successful tool in relating the shape of S. lemuru to the overfishing activities. |
