Meristic characters are enumerable morphological features of fishes. Strictly, meristic features are those that corresponded evolutionarily with body segmentation; however, today, the term is used more broadly.
Counts should be taken from both sides of the fish or from one chosen side, because paired meristic characters are not always bilaterally symmetric (Landrum, 1966; Leary et al., 1991; Omoniyi, 1997). Procedures for counting should be standardized to ensure that results are repeatable. Hubbs ...

A possible role of magnesium in determining the quantitative indices of seismosensory characters, which are formed during early fish ontogeny, is discussed with regard to the results of a pilot laboratory experiment on rearing roach juveniles under different hydrochemical conditions....
Expts. on meristic characters in sea trout (Salmo t. trutta) were carried out to determine the influence during ontogeny of environmental factors on the number of vertebrae, anal, dorsal and pectoral fins. Detn. of vertebrae begins in the gastrulation period. During development periods of ...
