Asymmetrical variations in six bilateral morphological characters of 75 specimens of Saurida tumbil obtained from the marine waters of Iraq were assessed. The level of asymmetry in the snout length was highest among the morphological traits examined. Variations in asymmetry in S. tumbil increased with size. These variations are possibly due to chemical contaminants.
评估了从伊拉克海域采集的 75 个突鼻狼牙鳝标本的 6 个双侧形态特征的不对称变化。在所检查的形态特征中,吻长的不对称程度最高。突鼻狼牙鳝的不对称变化随体型增大而增加。这些变化可能是由于化学污染物所致。
